- 1:25Speaker 9: my house all the time, because you know, if you
- 1:27Speaker 9: got young kids, you know, and you do allow them
- 1:29Speaker 9: to watch YouTube, even though I've taken away their YouTube recently.
- 1:32Speaker 2: But you know about time, time baby.
- 1:35Speaker 6: That's right. But the brown will be joining us, that's right.

- 1:43Speaker 9: She is an entrepreneur like big mogul status out here,
- 1:47Speaker 9: whether you realize it or not. So it's gonna be
- 1:49Speaker 9: great to have a conversation with her absolute morning.
- 1:51Speaker 6: Why do you take the kids YouTube? Boy?
- 1:55Speaker 9: I didn't like some of the language I was I
- 1:57Speaker 9: was hearing, because you know, you can tell, if you
- 1:59Speaker 9: you know, if you can tell when your kids start
- 2:01Speaker 9: to learn new words. And you know, one of my
- 2:05Speaker 9: daughters is really into like.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Minecraft, so she'll be watching those YouTube videos of people
- 2:11Speaker 2: playing people playing Minecraft.
- 2:13Speaker 9: I'm still think the thing that people don't realize when
- 2:15Speaker 9: people are when you're watching. When they're watching those videos,
- 2:18Speaker 9: they're listening to other people talk, so the person that's
- 2:20Speaker 9: playing is talking, so you know, I just it's not
- 2:23Speaker 9: like it's foul language. It's just words that like like
- 2:26Speaker 9: where you get that from?
- 2:28Speaker 10: You know?
- 2:28Speaker 2: So I wanted to pull back on it.
- 2:30Speaker 6: You have to do that with my son with Fortnite, yeah,
- 2:33Speaker 6: because they go into those rooms and although I watch
- 2:36Speaker 6: over him as he plays, some of the people that
- 2:38Speaker 6: he plays with his same age are using words in
- 2:42Speaker 6: terms that I'm like, nah, let's let's let's fall back.
- 2:44Speaker 9: And my thing also with the YouTube is like, yo,
- 2:47Speaker 9: why watch people play Minecraft?
- 2:49Speaker 2: Learn to play it yourself.
- 2:50Speaker 9: So if you are gonna when she does have the
- 2:52Speaker 9: time to be with the technology, go play the video game.
- 2:55Speaker 2: But I learned to play the actual game. She does
- 2:58Speaker 2: what she's into now.
- 2:59Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I asked that to it. And the reason
- 3:00Speaker 6: they do that it is special boards. There's special things
- 3:03Speaker 6: that you can get, and a lot of times they
- 3:05Speaker 6: actually follow them to see where those special things are,
- 3:08Speaker 6: special skins are, or whatever it may be. When we
- 3:10Speaker 6: were playing Mario back in the day, we just had
- 3:12Speaker 6: to figure it out and it might take us a
- 3:13Speaker 6: week to get past.
- 3:15Speaker 2: We wanted them colds.
- 3:16Speaker 6: We wanted them cold.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Wanted once you learned them cold. That was the thing.
- 3:18Speaker 9: Once you start learning them colds for contract. Not mind
- 3:21Speaker 9: you just big uncle talk right now.
- 3:22Speaker 6: It's contract up up, down, down right the A B
- 3:28Speaker 6: A selection updown updown left right left right, b A
- 3:31Speaker 6: B A select start. Okay, I think that's the cold.
- 3:33Speaker 9: That's the contra cold. Yeah, but once you learned that,
- 3:35Speaker 9: that's what we used to worry about, learning them cold.
- 3:37Speaker 11: That's right.
- 3:38Speaker 9: But yeah, I'm I don't let my kids do too
- 3:42Speaker 9: much technology. That's why I was watching the social media
- 3:44Speaker 9: CEOs testifying yesterday and the Senate yesterday.
- 3:47Speaker 2: That's what I was saying. Yeah, they were. They were saying
- 3:49Speaker 2: that it was on the ass.
- 3:50Speaker 6: They were saying that it's very addictive and kids shouldn't
- 3:52Speaker 6: be on it the way that they on it.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
- 3:56Speaker 9: I wasn't mad at some of the rhetoric that was
- 3:57Speaker 9: being thrown at them, especially when they especially like there
- 4:00Speaker 9: was that one where they they showed like the sexual
- 4:02Speaker 9: abuse thing. Did you see that if it's like images
- 4:05Speaker 9: of child sexual abuse, they give you two options, and
- 4:08Speaker 9: one option is it tells you, it warns you about
- 4:11Speaker 9: it and you can watch it anyway.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Then another one is more resources or.
- 4:14Speaker 8: Something like that.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it was strange. I'm like, why they don't just
- 4:16Speaker 2: have that block period.
- 4:18Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, if you got kids, just make sure
- 4:20Speaker 6: you stay on top of what they've got with them phones.
- 4:22Speaker 6: You got my phones and computers and all that.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Social media YouTube, all that.
- 4:26Speaker 9: My kids ain't on social media at all, but the
- 4:27Speaker 9: YouTube is just as just as dangerous.
- 4:30Speaker 6: Absolutely. All right, Well, let's get the show crack and
- 4:32Speaker 6: we got front page news coming up. Tesling figure over
- 4:34Speaker 6: be joining us. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
- 4:37Speaker 6: It's the DJ env Charlemagne de God. We are the
- 4:40Speaker 6: breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning
- 4:44Speaker 6: tis little morning, j Charlemagne the God. Yeah, I just
- 4:49Speaker 6: want to start off with some quick sports. Mark Gasol,
- 4:52Speaker 6: he announced his retirement from basketball on Wednesday. He spent
- 4:55Speaker 6: thirteen years playing in the NBA twenty years playing professional
- 4:59Speaker 6: basketball overseas. So congratulations to Mark Gasol. All right, now
- 5:04Speaker 6: let's talk about the social media CEO testifying in the Senate.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Charlemagne and I started talking about it a little.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Bit, Yeah you did. So this is what happened yesterday
- 5:12Speaker 4: in Congress.
- 5:12Speaker 12: So they said, sexual predators, addictive features that you guys mentioned, suicide,
- 5:16Speaker 12: eating disorders, unrealistic beauty standers, bullying. These are just some
- 5:20Speaker 12: of the issues young people are dealing with on social media.
- 5:22Speaker 12: I always like to say it's not just young people,
- 5:24Speaker 12: like adults are obviously, you know, affected as well, but
- 5:27Speaker 12: this was about young people, they said. Child advocates and
- 5:29Speaker 12: lawmakers say that these companies are not doing enough to
- 5:32Speaker 12: protect them. So wednesday, what you guys talked about Yesterday,
- 5:36Speaker 12: CEOs of Meta and TikTok x and other social media
- 5:39Speaker 12: companies went before the Senate Judici Judiciary Committee to testify
- 5:43Speaker 12: as lawmakers and parents grew increasingly concerned about the effects
- 5:46Speaker 12: of social media on young people's lives. Now the hearing
- 5:49Speaker 12: began with recorded testimony from kids and parents who said
- 5:53Speaker 12: that their children have been exploited on social media.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Throughout the hour long, hours long.
- 5:57Speaker 12: Events, parents who lost their children to suicide silently held
- 6:01Speaker 12: up pictures of their dead children. Now the hearing began
- 6:04Speaker 12: will record a testimony from the kids like I just mentioned,
- 6:08Speaker 12: and a heated question and answer session with Medicine.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Oh, Mark Zuckerberd, they really had him on the ropes.
- 6:13Speaker 12: Yesterday, Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley asked the MEDICEO if
- 6:18Speaker 12: he personally compensated any of the victims and their families
- 6:21Speaker 12: for what they've been through. He also asked, would he
- 6:24Speaker 12: liked to apologize to the families?
- 6:25Speaker 4: Take a listen.
- 6:27Speaker 13: So you didn't take any action, You didn't take any action,
- 6:29Speaker 13: you didn't fire anybody. You haven't compensated a single victims.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.
- 6:33Speaker 13: There's families of victims here today.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Have you apologized to the victims? Would you like to
- 6:38Speaker 2: do so?
- 6:38Speaker 13: Now? Well they're here, you're on national television. Would you
- 6:42Speaker 13: like now to apologize to the victims who have been
- 6:44Speaker 13: harmed by your product?
- 6:45Speaker 2: Showing the pictures?
- 6:47Speaker 13: Would you like to apologize for what you've done to
- 6:49Speaker 13: these good people?
- 6:51Speaker 6: I'm sorry for everything that you apologying through. Terrible.
- 6:54Speaker 14: No one should have to go through the things that
- 6:56Speaker 14: your families have suffered. And this is why we invested
- 7:00Speaker 14: so much and are going to continue doing industry leading
- 7:03Speaker 14: efforts to UH to make sure that no one has
- 7:07Speaker 14: to go through the types of things that your families
- 7:09Speaker 14: have type of suffered.
- 7:12Speaker 9: Oh, man, I watched it. I watched a lot of
- 7:14Speaker 9: that here and yesterday. I wasn't mad at it. I
- 7:16Speaker 9: just wish some of those senators had the same energy
- 7:18Speaker 9: for things like you know, mass shootings, you know, gun control. Yeah,
- 7:22Speaker 9: I was gonna way they had the same energy for
- 7:24Speaker 9: things like you know, poverty, because they was coming down
- 7:27Speaker 9: on you know, the social media CEOs like they were
- 7:29Speaker 9: the scum of the earth.
- 7:30Speaker 6: Because I think a lot of that is unfair though, right,
- 7:32Speaker 6: And the reason I think a lot of it is
- 7:34Speaker 6: unfair is they create these sites and I don't maybe
- 7:37Speaker 6: I don't know, but I don't think they created these
- 7:38Speaker 6: sites for evil, for negativity. They thought it would be
- 7:41Speaker 6: a great space for my kids to talk to somebody's
- 7:43Speaker 6: kids in Florida. Now why people use these sites and
- 7:46Speaker 6: how it's changed, it's effing horrible, right, But I don't
- 7:49Speaker 6: think they built these platforms for it to be evil, right,
- 7:52Speaker 6: for it? But they building for the intention.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Well it wasn't the intention.
- 7:55Speaker 12: But they have been told repeatedly when you talk about
- 7:57Speaker 12: the algorithms, when you talk about you know, all the
- 8:00Speaker 12: whistlel on that we've seen over the years, particularly about
- 8:03Speaker 12: Facebook and how they have been told that this is
- 8:05Speaker 12: doing negative things and they just continue to do it
- 8:08Speaker 12: for the money.
- 8:08Speaker 4: And for the advertising.
- 8:10Speaker 12: And Mark Zuckerberg said yesterday that he didn't think there
- 8:12Speaker 12: was a link between mental health and negative outcomes on
- 8:15Speaker 12: young people.
- 8:15Speaker 4: We know that not to be true.
- 8:16Speaker 12: We see that well grown people that there's a link
- 8:18Speaker 12: between mental health and that. So Democrat Senator Dick Durbin
- 8:22Speaker 12: obviously disagreed. Let's listen to what he said right quick.
- 8:25Speaker 15: With the touch of your finger, that smartphone that can
- 8:28Speaker 15: entertain and inform you can become a back alley where
- 8:32Speaker 15: the lives of your children are damaged and destroyed. These
- 8:36Speaker 15: apps have changed the ways we live, work and play,
- 8:39Speaker 15: But as investigations have detailed, social media and messaging apps
- 8:43Speaker 15: have also given predators powerful new tools to sexually exploit children.
- 8:49Speaker 15: Your carefully crafted algorithms can be more powerful for us
- 8:54Speaker 15: in the lives of our children that even the most
- 8:56Speaker 15: best intentioned parent see.
- 9:00Speaker 6: But like you said, why don't they go at you know,
- 9:02Speaker 6: gun manufacturers the same and cigarette manufacture is the same way.
- 9:05Speaker 6: Why don't they I want those people the same way
- 9:07Speaker 6: that they went at these people just what I.
- 9:09Speaker 9: Do they do with cigarettes? But I just wish, I
- 9:11Speaker 9: wish they had the same energy. But there is no
- 9:13Speaker 9: regulations on social media at all. Like if these platforms,
- 9:16Speaker 9: you know, are the biggest broadcast platforms and they need
- 9:19Speaker 9: to have the same SCC rules and regulations as other
- 9:22Speaker 9: broadcast platforms.
- 9:23Speaker 2: You can't just get on TV and radio and you know,
- 9:25Speaker 2: say whatever you want.
- 9:26Speaker 9: I mean, you can, but it will be consequences and repercussions,
- 9:29Speaker 9: not just for the broadcaster before the platform. We saw
- 9:31Speaker 9: that with the Fox News and the dominion voting case recently.
- 9:33Speaker 9: So I think what's going to change these platforms when
- 9:35Speaker 9: they are held liable Because I believe at the moment
- 9:38Speaker 9: they can't be sued.
- 9:40Speaker 6: I don't what they can.
- 9:42Speaker 4: And let me just tell you what they were.
- 9:44Speaker 12: What the whole thing was the point of yesterday, they're
- 9:47Speaker 12: trying to pass the act called the Kids Online Safety Act.
- 9:50Speaker 12: Just so folks know, this bill will require online services
- 9:53Speaker 12: like social media networks, video game sites, messaging apps to
- 9:57Speaker 12: put reasonable measures to prevent harm like bullying and the
- 10:01Speaker 12: self harm and all this stuff. And it will also
- 10:02Speaker 12: require them to turn on privacy and safety settings for
- 10:05Speaker 12: default for kids under eighteen. It is bipartisan. Both Democrats
- 10:09Speaker 12: and Republicans seem to agree. But we'll see if they're.
- 10:11Speaker 2: All for us.
- 10:12Speaker 6: Let me ask a question, when do parents take responsibility
- 10:15Speaker 6: as well?
- 10:15Speaker 10: Right?
- 10:16Speaker 6: Because, yeah, you're allowing your kids to go in these sites,
- 10:19Speaker 6: you're allowing your kids to play. You know, you're not
- 10:21Speaker 6: watching over your kids to make sure they're saying, like
- 10:23Speaker 6: you said, you had to, you know, stop your daughter
- 10:25Speaker 6: from playing it, you know on YouTube, And I stopped
- 10:27Speaker 6: my son from playing certain things because I watch them.
- 10:29Speaker 6: I make sure that there's certain words that can't be said,
- 10:31Speaker 6: and if I hear those words, I stop it immediately.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Like when it's not one person's fault.
- 10:35Speaker 9: Now, it's not the parents' fault, it's not the social
- 10:37Speaker 9: media ceo.
- 10:39Speaker 2: It's not one person's fault.
- 10:40Speaker 6: That's my point.
- 10:41Speaker 2: It's not.
- 10:41Speaker 12: Yeah, but then remember the whistle blowing guys. And last
- 10:43Speaker 12: year when remember when John Todd, the founder whistle Blown Act,
- 10:46Speaker 12: they exposed Facebook for these algorithms that are specifically targeting kids.
- 10:50Speaker 12: And you know how stuff pop up in your feed
- 10:52Speaker 12: over and over and over and over and over. So
- 10:54Speaker 12: there's been some accountability. DJ and B does come down
- 10:56Speaker 12: to the parents. A lot of parents don't know what
- 10:58Speaker 12: their kids are doing.
- 10:58Speaker 4: They just can't. You can't monitor everything.
- 11:00Speaker 12: But when you've been told at these algorithms that you're
- 11:03Speaker 12: literally setting it up to only be able to swipe
- 11:06Speaker 12: certain things, and they keep popping up over and over
- 11:08Speaker 12: and over, that's kind of where it gets a little
- 11:10Speaker 12: bit sticky.
- 11:11Speaker 2: This is about bullying, though, This is about kids who
- 11:13Speaker 2: have killed themselves because they were being bully that's just
- 11:15Speaker 2: not necessarily that's not algorithms.
- 11:17Speaker 4: No, but it's no. But it's all it's all of that,
- 11:19Speaker 4: is what they're saying. It's all of that. It's the bullying,
- 11:21Speaker 4: it's the algorithms, it's the just.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Like you just heard, bullying and harmful content.
- 11:26Speaker 6: That's right. Well, we'll talk about it some more and
- 11:28Speaker 6: then we'll see you in about an hour. Test. Yes, sir,
- 11:31Speaker 6: get it off your chest. Eight don't drink five eight
- 11:33Speaker 6: five one oh five one. If you need to vent,
- 11:35Speaker 6: talk to us. The phone lines wide open. It's the
- 11:37Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your
- 11:44Speaker 6: time to get it off your chest. Eight hundred and
- 11:47Speaker 6: five eight five one five one. We want to hear
- 11:49Speaker 6: from you on the Breakfast club. Hello, who's this?
- 11:53Speaker 16: This is DJ Maniac.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Won't know DJ Maniac. What's happening?
- 11:57Speaker 17: King, what's happening?
- 11:58Speaker 16: I wanted to thank you got Uh for being being
- 12:02Speaker 16: real keeping it ring on about social media situation and yeah,
- 12:08Speaker 16: it's not one person's fault.
- 12:10Speaker 18: It's not a social.
- 12:11Speaker 16: Media fault, Armor Grayson. Everybody needs to get together and
- 12:17Speaker 16: I appreciate you guys doing that to the public.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you. I mean, it's just the truth.
- 12:23Speaker 6: It is.
- 12:24Speaker 2: You're lying to yourself if you think social media not
- 12:26Speaker 2: impacting your.
- 12:26Speaker 6: Kids after bug positively, But like you said, it's it's
- 12:30Speaker 6: it's the kids, you know. Sometimes it's not not the cads,
- 12:32Speaker 6: it's the parents. It's it's the social media place. It's
- 12:35Speaker 6: it's a little bit of everybody, and we all have
- 12:36Speaker 6: to make sure that we play a part of making
- 12:38Speaker 6: sure that we can stop it and slow it down
- 12:41Speaker 6: because cyber bullying is real. These kids are influenced, that's real.
- 12:44Speaker 6: So I think it's everybody mellow, yo, envy, what's the wording?
- 12:49Speaker 18: What's up?
- 12:49Speaker 17: Uncle Sola?
- 12:50Speaker 2: How y'all feeling mellow? What's up? My brother?
- 12:53Speaker 11: Before I even get into this, I apologize to anybody
- 12:57Speaker 11: out of fend but respectfully, I was a bullying a
- 13:00Speaker 11: thing when you could just turn your phone off or
- 13:02Speaker 11: delete the app, like back in the day, like if
- 13:05Speaker 11: your mom cut your head, you had to defend your
- 13:07Speaker 11: existence for the next two weeks at the lunch table. Like,
- 13:10Speaker 11: and you're telling me you could you have the option
- 13:12Speaker 11: or walk away from your phone or turn your phone off,
- 13:14Speaker 11: and you're still allowing it.
- 13:15Speaker 2: To get leaded.
- 13:17Speaker 11: Yeah, by that, that doesn't even make sense.
- 13:19Speaker 9: I tell you something, mellow, you know, I get what
- 13:21Speaker 9: you're saying. But think about this, right, if you're a
- 13:23Speaker 9: young kid who isn't han't learned emotional intelligence yet, and
- 13:28Speaker 9: you know you're getting online, it's one thing to have
- 13:30Speaker 9: to deal with, like you know, five or six kids
- 13:32Speaker 9: at the lunch table, you gotta deal withreds hundreds of
- 13:35Speaker 9: people on social media, people that you don't even know,
- 13:37Speaker 9: just going in on you over and over and over.
- 13:39Speaker 9: And yeah, I can, yeah, turn your phone off, but
- 13:42Speaker 9: what if you've already experienced.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Five minutes of it, ten minutes of it, fifteen minutes
- 13:46Speaker 2: of it. Sometimes that's all it takes.
- 13:47Speaker 11: Yeah, I hear you on that, But you can just
- 13:49Speaker 11: lock out the app.
- 13:50Speaker 18: And on top of that.

- 13:56Speaker 11: then you should not have one.
- 13:57Speaker 18: And that's your parent's job.
- 13:58Speaker 11: Why do you hope to lead social media your companies accountable?
- 14:01Speaker 18: I don't care, but you're.

- 14:31Speaker 9: meltdowns on social media.

- 14:53Speaker 9: the constant onslaught of you know, harassment, the constant onslaught
- 14:57Speaker 9: of people saying negative things like it's just it's.

- 15:09Speaker 9: to it either way, but I can totally see how

- 16:41Speaker 17: when black people support something, we go out and spend
- 16:43Speaker 17: our money. I feel like we don't want to see
- 16:45Speaker 17: a color purple, and we said that's that's when it
- 16:48Speaker 17: came out to the black people don't want to see that.
- 16:50Speaker 17: We want to see something do where Tyler Perry came
- 16:53Speaker 17: out with Diary of a Man Black Woman and all that.
- 16:56Speaker 17: Not just nobody had to tell us.
- 16:57Speaker 9: To go, we win, Hey, black man. You know I
- 17:00Speaker 9: literally said that verbatim yesterday. I literally said, we got
- 17:03Speaker 9: to support with our dollars. But I also said, I
- 17:05Speaker 9: think one of the problems with Color Purple was nobody
- 17:07Speaker 9: wanted to see a color purple remake you did.
- 17:09Speaker 20: Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, you're right.
- 17:11Speaker 10: Hey.

- 17:46Speaker 18: Is not a lot of them. It's not a lot
- 17:47Speaker 18: of them.
- 17:48Speaker 6: All right, thank you, brother, all right, have a good day. Hello.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Who's this?
- 17:54Speaker 6: He ain't Sophia? Good morning? Get it off your chest.
- 17:56Speaker 19: Yes, I wanted to ask Arl name women when you've
- 18:00Speaker 19: done for interviewing Nikki Hayley. And she made a comment
- 18:04Speaker 19: about abortion, late term abortion, which is not true. Women
- 18:09Speaker 19: don't have late term abortions. I still, if we want
- 18:12Speaker 19: to ask questions, we need to have a rebuttal to
- 18:15Speaker 19: those answers because she just misinformation out there.
- 18:20Speaker 2: About late term abortion.
- 18:22Speaker 6: Yes that she.
- 18:24Speaker 19: Does not happen.
- 18:25Speaker 6: We asked it for her. I asked her stance on abortion,
- 18:28Speaker 6: and she said she's pro life, but you know, she
- 18:31Speaker 6: wants a woman to be able to make her own
- 18:33Speaker 6: choice about their own bodies. But she's just against late
- 18:36Speaker 6: term abortions. I think that's what she said.
- 18:38Speaker 9: But I thought different people. I thought people define late
- 18:40Speaker 9: term abortion different. I think I thought a late term
- 18:43Speaker 9: abortion sometimes described when it's fifteen to twenty weeks or
- 18:46Speaker 9: even earlier.
- 18:46Speaker 19: No, No, she has said that women has had abortions
- 18:51Speaker 19: at eight months and that's not true. So we have
- 18:54Speaker 19: to do our homework when we are talking about this information.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Totally understand.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Late term abortion is referred to the third trimester abortion.
- 19:03Speaker 2: I did, I did, I did.
- 19:05Speaker 9: I did agree with her or her her take on abortion.
- 19:08Speaker 9: But that's how I always feel like. You know, if
- 19:10Speaker 9: whether you pro life or pro choice, it's not up
- 19:13Speaker 9: to you.
- 19:14Speaker 2: It's up to the person that's carrying the job.
- 19:16Speaker 19: Yeah, but when she said, I just we just need
- 19:18Speaker 19: to clarify that because she has said that before.
- 19:23Speaker 6: Okay, but you know, look at it up now that says, yes,
- 19:25Speaker 6: late term abortions are real and they happen every day.
- 19:30Speaker 6: If you don't tell us, tell us if if you
- 19:32Speaker 6: know something.
- 19:33Speaker 19: Well, that's what I'm saying. No, that's what I'm saying.
- 19:35Speaker 19: That she has mentioned eight months, and that's what I'm
- 19:40Speaker 19: complaining about.
- 19:41Speaker 16: So we needed to ask.
- 19:42Speaker 19: Her to clarify. She said, you have.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Said eight months, said yes, I remember.
- 19:48Speaker 19: Not yesterday.
- 19:49Speaker 18: No, she had said it before.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember saying eight months. Yesterday. I remember
- 19:54Speaker 2: her saying late term.
- 19:55Speaker 19: No, she didn't say that. She didn't say it yesterday.
- 19:59Speaker 2: She had said it before, So how can we correct
- 20:01Speaker 2: her on something she didn't stay here?
- 20:02Speaker 19: Well, I mean that's what I'm saying. We're supposed to
- 20:06Speaker 19: and do our homework when we want.
- 20:08Speaker 2: To intervow what you're saying. You wanted me to ask
- 20:11Speaker 2: her about her saying that the eight months.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Yes, yes, got because it says that ten thousand babies
- 20:18Speaker 6: a year. Are you know, uh they have late term abortions.
- 20:22Speaker 2: Yeah. I was confused a little bit because I was like,
- 20:24Speaker 2: when did she she said say eight months of it?
- 20:27Speaker 2: But I understand what you're saying.
- 20:28Speaker 6: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
- 20:30Speaker 6: one o five one. If you need to vent, phone
- 20:32Speaker 6: lines to wide open. When we come back, we got
- 20:34Speaker 6: your room report. We gotta talk about Usher. Did you

- 21:18Speaker 6: and was talking about so many different things, the super Bowl,
- 21:21Speaker 6: his album, and more, but he also talked about who
- 21:24Speaker 6: named him? Who nicknamed him? The domestic terrorists?
- 21:32Speaker 1: Is there a collab that someone asked you to be
- 21:34Speaker 1: a part of, you know, didn't and when it came out,
- 21:36Speaker 1: you're like.
- 21:37Speaker 21: Damn, yeah, you're gonna hate me for this one.

- 21:42Speaker 2: That's the clip. I would rather hear No.
- 21:43Speaker 6: We go ahead that in a minute too. But he
- 21:45Speaker 6: talks about, uh, it's a residency clip.
- 21:48Speaker 5: This juncture of my life is just about having you
- 21:50Speaker 5: don't even care. Now, it's not that I don't care,
- 21:52Speaker 5: it's that I want you to notice. I'm having fun.
- 21:55Speaker 5: And that is a part of me having fun, being
- 21:57Speaker 5: out in the audience amongst the fans and also to
- 22:00Speaker 5: the people, and then feeling that energy. I don't remember
- 22:02Speaker 5: the last time that I've been to a show like that.
- 22:05Speaker 5: You know, this arena gave me an opportunity to be
- 22:08Speaker 5: able to be closer to my fans because i'd been
- 22:10Speaker 5: I hadn't put out an album in almost six years, right,
- 22:13Speaker 5: so now being able to reconnect in that way, you know,
- 22:17Speaker 5: obviously it spun into something that became gave me a
- 22:21Speaker 5: new title. Yeah, I think Charlemagne a god named me
- 22:25Speaker 5: like the Domestic Terrorists. I'm like, bro, I'm just this
- 22:29Speaker 5: is this is actually an Usher show.
- 22:31Speaker 9: The bigger conversation outside who gave him the name the
- 22:33Speaker 9: Domestic Terrorists was the convoy they was having around that
- 22:37Speaker 9: was basically was just Usher feel bad about serenading other
- 22:42Speaker 9: people's women. Okay, does he feel bad about the homes
- 22:46Speaker 9: he may have ruined because of that Vegas residency? Okay,
- 22:49Speaker 9: you go there with your girl. Next thing, you know,
- 22:50Speaker 9: Usher giving them flowers and singing to them. Okay, then
- 22:53Speaker 9: you wonder why she humming? There goes my baby. For
- 22:55Speaker 9: the next three days.
- 22:57Speaker 6: That would happen to you. How are you projecting some.
- 23:00Speaker 2: All but just you know, putting it out there.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Okay, all right. Well he also talks about a supergroup
- 23:04Speaker 6: that he was supposed to be a part of.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Is They're collab that someone asked you to be a
- 23:08Speaker 1: part of and you didn't And when it came out,
- 23:10Speaker 1: you're like.

- 23:29Speaker 6: You said yeah on the record, but you just say no.
- 23:33Speaker 21: That's the one.
- 23:34Speaker 2: I think that we just got caught up.
- 23:35Speaker 21: I think we all got caught up in a moment.
- 23:37Speaker 21: We was talking about it, having secret meetings about it.
- 23:40Speaker 5: We were talking about music and how we're gonna flip
- 23:42Speaker 5: it in it the business of it, and somehow, man,
- 23:45Speaker 5: we just got distracted, you know what I'm saying.
- 23:48Speaker 21: And it never happened. You know, that's the one that
- 23:51Speaker 21: I actually wish would have happened.
- 23:53Speaker 9: That's one of those things that when you look at
- 23:54Speaker 9: it on paper, all the ingredients, you know, they look good. Separately,
- 23:57Speaker 9: but I don't know if they necessarily go together. But
- 24:00Speaker 9: if a chef tells me they can put it together,
- 24:02Speaker 9: you try it, you know what I mean? Well, not necessarily.
- 24:05Speaker 9: I don't know if I want it, but I try
- 24:06Speaker 9: it. It would have been dope.
- 24:07Speaker 6: You're thinking about the success Parrell has had with Usha,
- 24:10Speaker 6: the success Parol has had with Hove. You put that
- 24:12Speaker 6: all together?
- 24:13Speaker 2: Wait, does it mix? Like us is the only singer?
- 24:16Speaker 18: Right?
- 24:17Speaker 10: Yes?
- 24:17Speaker 2: He the producer? I guess did.
- 24:19Speaker 9: He would have produced his He would have produced a
- 24:21Speaker 9: Lis and Jay would have did all the rapping, so
- 24:24Speaker 9: it's an Usher and jay Z group. Then with Pharrell
- 24:27Speaker 9: doing the beats and some hooks. It would have been dope. No,
- 24:32Speaker 9: I think it would have been dope.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Maybe. Like I said, I would try it.
- 24:34Speaker 9: All the ingredients look good separately, but I don't know
- 24:37Speaker 9: if they all go together, but I would I would
- 24:38Speaker 9: try it.
- 24:39Speaker 6: Yeah. Ushul also talks about his album Coming Home, which

- 27:52Speaker 6: I just signed for some front Page news. What ups
- 27:55Speaker 6: was going on?
- 27:56Speaker 4: DJ's Charlemagne the guy?
- 27:57Speaker 6: He said, Now let's jump right into us now. Man
- 28:00Speaker 6: was arrested after video posts showed a severed head of
- 28:03Speaker 6: his father. What the hell?
- 28:04Speaker 4: Yeah, this is wild wold wid wow.
- 28:07Speaker 12: The Pennsylvania man has been charged after his father was
- 28:09Speaker 12: found beheaded inside their family home Tuesday night in Middleton Township.
- 28:13Speaker 22: Take a listen, thirty two year old Justin Mohan of
- 28:16Speaker 22: love Oftown, Bucks County, and he stands accused of a
- 28:19Speaker 22: truly unspeakable crime. He's accused of murdering and decapitating his
- 28:23Speaker 22: own father, sixty eight year old Michael Moon, a crime
- 28:26Speaker 22: he allegedly videoed and then posted online.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I am very sad for the family.
- 28:32Speaker 9: I'm very sad for the community, you know, and also
- 28:35Speaker 9: for the people that knew him.
- 28:36Speaker 22: By the time authorities got to the family home on
- 28:38Speaker 22: Upper Orchard Drive a bit past seven o'clock, the suspect
- 28:42Speaker 22: that already left with his father's vehicle.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Now.
- 28:45Speaker 12: During this fourteen minute long YouTube video, Moon titled it
- 28:50Speaker 12: the Moan's Militia Called to Arms for American Patriots. He
- 28:54Speaker 12: described his father as a federal worker in rails against
- 28:56Speaker 12: the Biden administration and the border crisis, and declined himself
- 29:00Speaker 12: the new acting president under martial law. Now so again,
- 29:03Speaker 12: he referred to himself as a militia leader. He said
- 29:06Speaker 12: that he was upset that his father was a federal
- 29:09Speaker 12: employee for twenty years. Talked about again Joe Biden, and
- 29:12Speaker 12: he was reading from a script. The police did eventually
- 29:15Speaker 12: find him by pinging his cell phone and he was
- 29:17Speaker 12: arrested without incident. So this was some political stuff going
- 29:21Speaker 12: on with this as well.
- 29:22Speaker 6: That's just insane, so insane.
- 29:26Speaker 9: It's the world we live in. And you know, I
- 29:28Speaker 9: can't be surprised by any of this stuff anymore.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Man.
- 29:30Speaker 9: People commit crimes and for whatever reason, they feel like
- 29:33Speaker 9: they want to showcase them online.
- 29:34Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, I know what it is. It's projection.
- 29:36Speaker 9: When these people commit these heinous acts, they got so
- 29:40Speaker 9: much trauma, they want to trauma dump on everybody. So
- 29:44Speaker 9: they're sharing their heinous crime with the world because it's
- 29:47Speaker 9: eating them up on the inside. That's just projection. But
- 29:50Speaker 9: I'm glad that it makes it easier for the police
- 29:52Speaker 9: to lock these people up.
- 29:53Speaker 4: But boy, well what about the political side.
- 29:55Speaker 12: You know, him talking about America's coming bloody revolution and
- 29:58Speaker 12: the mental.
- 29:59Speaker 9: You know again, just that just lets me know he
- 30:01Speaker 9: got some he got mental health issues.
- 30:03Speaker 2: That's what that is. That's just that's that. Don't even
- 30:05Speaker 2: that rant, don't even mean nothing. That's just gibberiush.
- 30:07Speaker 9: After you commit a crime like that, after you do
- 30:10Speaker 9: something like that, you settled ahead of your father and
- 30:13Speaker 9: post it online, that's just gibberiush.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Whatever's coming out of your mouth, that's just Obviously he
- 30:17Speaker 2: has problems.
- 30:18Speaker 9: But what do you do with a person like that.
- 30:20Speaker 9: You definitely got to go deal with the consequences of
- 30:22Speaker 9: his actions. Right, But while he's in prison, shouldn't he
- 30:24Speaker 9: be getting some type of psychological treatment?
- 30:26Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
- 30:27Speaker 12: Well it's amazing that without incident, That's what's amazing to me.
- 30:30Speaker 12: But I mean, I just I just think it also
- 30:33Speaker 12: went again. I know, we said it's just gibberous what
- 30:35Speaker 12: he's saying is, but some of these people, he was
- 30:37Speaker 12: a part of QAnon, he believed in, he believed in
- 30:39Speaker 12: these conspiracies, these online things that are happening over and
- 30:42Speaker 12: over and over and over. Just kind of going back
- 30:44Speaker 12: to what we talked about, it's not just kids that
- 30:45Speaker 12: are affected by online. It's a lot of these conspiracies
- 30:48Speaker 12: and people are tapping into this.
- 30:50Speaker 4: Two people who are mentally ill.
- 30:52Speaker 12: You know, you can't control it, But I think it's
- 30:55Speaker 12: not worth Did.
- 30:56Speaker 2: He kill his father because of his father's political views?
- 30:58Speaker 2: Did his father have opposing when.
- 31:00Speaker 12: He said his father was a federal worker and was
- 31:02Speaker 12: a trader for work because he worked for the government
- 31:05Speaker 12: for twenty years.
- 31:06Speaker 2: That's what he said, So that's the reason he killed him.
- 31:09Speaker 2: That was the motive.
- 31:09Speaker 6: That's what he said.
- 31:10Speaker 4: I mean, I don't you know, again, I don't know
- 31:12Speaker 4: that's what but that's.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Literally I'm saying that was that the motive of the police.
- 31:15Speaker 2: That was the motive.
- 31:16Speaker 4: I'm asking That's what he said on the video. That's
- 31:18Speaker 4: what he said.
- 31:19Speaker 2: He said, that's the reason he did it.
- 31:20Speaker 12: Yes, he said, my father is a trader for working
- 31:23Speaker 12: for the government for over twenty years.
- 31:24Speaker 4: This guy was an anti government.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Uh.
- 31:27Speaker 12: He talked about it for fourteen minutes. He lifted his
- 31:29Speaker 12: head up and showed it on YouTube and.
- 31:31Speaker 6: All of that.
- 31:32Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 31:33Speaker 4: That is his that is his motive.
- 31:34Speaker 12: He's saying, that is his motive, that his father deserved
- 31:37Speaker 12: to die because he was a trader. He should have
- 31:39Speaker 12: never worked for the federal government.
- 31:41Speaker 2: The fact that that can even make it to YouTube
- 31:43Speaker 2: is insane.
- 31:43Speaker 6: Yep.
- 31:44Speaker 2: But that's the problem. Like, that's the problem.
- 31:45Speaker 9: There's no degree of difficulty to get on YouTube like
- 31:51Speaker 9: and I don't think and you can't stop that, you
- 31:52Speaker 9: can't stop doing something like that.
- 31:54Speaker 6: I was gonna say, how do you control it? Like
- 31:55Speaker 6: there's not enough people in the world to watch everybody's pays.
- 31:58Speaker 6: Make sure that they can pull it in, you know
- 32:00Speaker 6: what I mean.
- 32:00Speaker 2: And you can't under see it. So once you've witnessed it,
- 32:04Speaker 2: once you've taken it in, it's there. All right.

- 32:49Speaker 2: does that mean?
- 32:50Speaker 12: Well, you know, I spent a very long time code
- 32:53Speaker 12: switching and conforming, and that's not freedom, and so I
- 32:57Speaker 12: no longer live that way. And so I always tell people, honey,
- 33:00Speaker 12: to choose freedom over code switch. Well enough, just as
- 33:02Speaker 12: we are, even if we're from the country, even if
- 33:04Speaker 12: we're from the South. It's just a thing.
- 33:06Speaker 23: So I promote that all the time.
- 33:08Speaker 9: Here you go, I feel like I know you because
- 33:10Speaker 9: I told you when I saw you over the summer.
- 33:11Speaker 9: I'm like when my kids watched tap A Brown all
- 33:14Speaker 9: the time on YouTube. And then you know, my wife

- 33:19Speaker 9: she was giving them out of his gifts to people.
- 33:22Speaker 6: We got to congratulate her on her and me as well.
- 33:24Speaker 6: You just want to a thing can December? Congratulations?
- 33:27Speaker 4: Thank you?
- 33:27Speaker 2: How did that feel?
- 33:28Speaker 12: It still feels surreal, you know, but I feel grateful
- 33:32Speaker 12: to have one for just like being myself, right, but
- 33:35Speaker 12: something so powerful that it's for children, But it still
- 33:40Speaker 12: feels like it didn't happen. It feels like a dream almost.
- 33:43Speaker 12: But the crazy thing is there's another side of that
- 33:45Speaker 12: that it feels completely normal. It's a weird feeling, it's yours. Yeah,
- 33:49Speaker 12: it feels like, oh, this is what God intended for
- 33:50Speaker 12: my life. Absolutely, But the other side of it is like,
- 33:53Speaker 12: did that really happen?
- 33:54Speaker 10: So?
- 33:54Speaker 2: But yeah, how did the Internet change your life?
- 33:56Speaker 23: Shoot, honey?
- 33:57Speaker 4: In every way?
- 33:59Speaker 12: You know, I was a I still am an actress,
- 34:01Speaker 12: but for a long time, you know, I was pursuing
- 34:03Speaker 12: acting and nobody really knew me from you know, acting,
- 34:06Speaker 12: And I started doing content, doing you know, videos, not
- 34:10Speaker 12: because I wanted to, but I had a dream and
- 34:12Speaker 12: God spoke to me and told me to start doing videos.
- 34:14Speaker 12: And I was like, I don't want to do that,
- 34:16Speaker 12: you know, but I was also trying to live a
- 34:19Speaker 12: life of obedience. I started and nobody was watching, and
- 34:22Speaker 12: I was like, well, God, you told me to do this,
- 34:24Speaker 12: and ain't nobody ain't nobody showing up on these videos
- 34:27Speaker 12: to watch?
- 34:27Speaker 4: Why do you have me doing this?
- 34:29Speaker 12: And I started in August of twenty seventeen doing videos,
- 34:32Speaker 12: and by December thirtieth.
- 34:34Speaker 4: One of my videos went viral.
- 34:36Speaker 6: Which one it was.
- 34:37Speaker 4: It was a TTLA.
- 34:38Speaker 12: I was eating a sandwich in my car because I
- 34:40Speaker 12: was driving Uber and because I was on disability for
- 34:42Speaker 12: over you because I was so sick.
- 34:44Speaker 23: And when I started.
- 34:45Speaker 12: Feeling better after going vegan, I started driving Uber and
- 34:48Speaker 12: I was like, you know what, I had had a
- 34:50Speaker 12: job before. I didn't want to get stuck back in
- 34:51Speaker 12: the nine to five. So I told my husband. I
- 34:53Speaker 12: was like, you know what, I'm gonna go drive Uber.
- 34:54Speaker 12: We live in LA. I'm probably get discovered in my car.
- 34:56Speaker 12: In my mind, I'm thinking I'm gonna, you know, pick
- 34:58Speaker 12: up a producer or director or something. I stopped by
- 35:01Speaker 12: Whole Foods because I dropped somebody off and I was like,
- 35:02Speaker 12: I'm go ahead and get me a little breakfast, and
- 35:04Speaker 12: because I'm still a new vegan at that time, and
- 35:07Speaker 12: I got a sandwich and did a review on it.
- 35:09Speaker 12: Because I was my videos when I first started, I
- 35:11Speaker 12: was just telling people I'm going vegan. When I find
- 35:13Speaker 12: new vegan options, I'm just gonna share it. By the
- 35:16Speaker 12: time I got home in the video had like fifty
- 35:17Speaker 12: some thousand views, and I was like, wait a minute,
- 35:19Speaker 12: who watching this video?
- 35:20Speaker 2: But you was before.
- 35:23Speaker 4: Listen. I love that's my nephew.
- 35:26Speaker 12: But the next morning had like over one hundred thousand
- 35:28Speaker 12: views and I was like, I told my husband, I said,
- 35:29Speaker 12: I think I'm going viral.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Was like, he was like, what that means. I was like,
- 35:33Speaker 4: I don't know. And four days later, the Whole Foods
- 35:36Speaker 4: reached out.
- 35:36Speaker 12: I was like, we saw your video because I got
- 35:38Speaker 12: the you know, sandwich from there, and they wanted to
- 35:40Speaker 12: partner with me. I became their brand ambassador and I
- 35:43Speaker 12: want to do so many campaigns and it ain't It's
- 35:45Speaker 12: been on ever since then.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Now, why'd you switch to vegan for people? I don't know?
- 35:48Speaker 23: So I got sick.
- 35:50Speaker 12: So January of twenty sixteen, I woke up one morning
- 35:53Speaker 12: and I had this headache in the back of my head.
- 35:56Speaker 12: And I had a car accident in high school, so
- 35:58Speaker 12: I'm used to like waking up sometime in the back
- 36:00Speaker 12: my neck is tight and sometime it goes into my head.
- 36:02Speaker 23: So I thought it was one of those episodes.
- 36:04Speaker 12: But this headache rested in the back of my head
- 36:07Speaker 12: for a year and seven months and it started to,
- 36:09Speaker 12: you know, affect my body, and so I started to
- 36:13Speaker 12: fall when out will walk as a woman.
- 36:17Speaker 23: Everything was all out of whack. I just did not
- 36:19Speaker 23: feel well.
- 36:19Speaker 12: So every time I went to the doctor, they were
- 36:21Speaker 12: doing so many tests they was doing in myris trying
- 36:23Speaker 12: to figure out what is wrong. So they told me,
- 36:26Speaker 12: they was like, we know it's something autoimmune that's attacking
- 36:28Speaker 12: your body.
- 36:29Speaker 23: We just can't figure it out. I lost my vision
- 36:31Speaker 23: for a day.
- 36:32Speaker 12: It was a really bad time for me, and I
- 36:34Speaker 12: took every drug the doctor offered me. I was like
- 36:37Speaker 12: a guinea pig because you are desperate to feel better,
- 36:40Speaker 12: and if anything, it probably made me worse.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Nothing was working.
- 36:43Speaker 12: And so my daughter came home from school one day
- 36:45Speaker 12: and she was like, Mommy, we saw this documentary at
- 36:48Speaker 12: school today.
- 36:48Speaker 4: I think you should watch it.
- 36:49Speaker 12: And I don't know if you know teenagers, honey, but
- 36:51Speaker 12: it ain't every day they come home and tell you
- 36:52Speaker 12: to watch the documentary. And so it was what they
- 36:55Speaker 12: helped on Netflix, and so I was like, you know what,
- 36:57Speaker 12: let's watch it together as a family.
- 36:58Speaker 4: So I watched it.
- 37:00Speaker 12: And when they started talking about not all diseases or
- 37:03Speaker 12: hereditary sometimes you can eat the same thing in your
- 37:05Speaker 12: family that will cause the same disease in your bloodline
- 37:08Speaker 12: and so that was kind of like a light bulb.
- 37:10Speaker 4: Moment for me.
- 37:10Speaker 12: My mama died at fifty one of a rare disease LS.
- 37:14Speaker 12: My daddy is now seventy two, but he's the oldest
- 37:16Speaker 12: man that ever lived in my family.
- 37:17Speaker 16: Wow.
- 37:18Speaker 12: People get sick at young ages in my family, and
- 37:20Speaker 12: they die at young ages in my family. And the
- 37:22Speaker 12: only thing I could think of that we had in
- 37:24Speaker 12: common was how we ate. Now, I wasn't a bad
- 37:26Speaker 12: eater because I was in LA but I wasn't eating
- 37:29Speaker 12: to feel well. I was eating to look a certain way,
- 37:32Speaker 12: which is is also a sickness, and so eating.
- 37:35Speaker 4: To look a certain way, so I'm not exactly.
- 37:39Speaker 12: I wasn't eating to like, oh me put this in
- 37:41Speaker 12: my body so I can be well. I was like, oh,
- 37:43Speaker 12: let me put this in my body so I don't
- 37:44Speaker 12: gain weight, gotcha, you understand. So, but I said, it
- 37:48Speaker 12: wasn't you know, a terrible You know, I haven't eaten
- 37:50Speaker 12: red metal pork since I was fifteen, And I was like, okay,
- 37:53Speaker 12: and I'm allergic to derivery like most people.
- 37:55Speaker 23: But I also was like, it's the only thing I
- 37:57Speaker 23: haven't tried.
- 37:58Speaker 12: So I told my husband, let's do like a thirty
- 38:00Speaker 12: day began challenge except for thirty days, and so on
- 38:04Speaker 12: like day ten, the headache I had every day for
- 38:07Speaker 12: a year and seven months disappeared.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Wow, and I was like, wait, min, I'm onto something.
- 38:11Speaker 12: And after that, every day I started getting energy again
- 38:14Speaker 12: because I had chronic fatigue and I had chronic panic
- 38:16Speaker 12: attacks because when you sick and you know something is wrong,
- 38:20Speaker 12: but the doctor said, well we can't figure it out,
- 38:21Speaker 12: it makes you have anxiety and depression. And so I
- 38:26Speaker 12: started getting energy again because I would sleep all day
- 38:28Speaker 12: all night like I would just be exhausted all the time.
- 38:31Speaker 12: And so energy started coming back. My head, you know,
- 38:34Speaker 12: was feeling better. I was starting to feel like myself again.
- 38:37Speaker 12: And so that day, look, when day thirty came, I
- 38:39Speaker 12: told my husband. I was like, this is gonna be
- 38:41Speaker 12: my life. You know, I'm gonna go vegan. He was like, well,
- 38:43Speaker 12: tomorrow we need.
- 38:44Speaker 4: A piece of chicken.
- 38:44Speaker 23: Tab like it gonna be.
- 38:47Speaker 16: Right.
- 38:48Speaker 12: And so but I always tell people that part because
- 38:51Speaker 12: sometimes the journey that may change your life or safe
- 38:54Speaker 12: your life, you gotta be willing to go on and
- 38:55Speaker 12: the loan and so I was like all right, and
- 38:57Speaker 12: so I ain't never looked back.
- 38:59Speaker 4: That's why we got more.
- 39:00Speaker 6: With Tabatha Brown. When we come back, don't move. It's
- 39:02Speaker 6: the breakfast club, Good morning, pulling everybody in DJ env
- 39:06Speaker 6: Charlmagne the God. We are the breakfast club. It's still
- 39:08Speaker 6: kicking with Tabitha Brown, Charlamagne.
- 39:10Speaker 9: I got so many questions. Number one, you said something
- 39:12Speaker 9: earlier about God spoke to you. What does God sound
- 39:17Speaker 9: like for me?
- 39:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 39:19Speaker 12: So I always tell people. I get asked that a lot.
- 39:21Speaker 12: Now I am gifted in a different way than most people.
- 39:26Speaker 12: So for me, I can hear like your voice. I
- 39:31Speaker 12: can hear sometimes it sounds like a flutter, like a
- 39:33Speaker 12: humming bird would be close to my ear, so it's
- 39:35Speaker 12: like a wind and it's a it's a flutter, but
- 39:38Speaker 12: you can hear sound in it. I can see it,
- 39:42Speaker 12: I can dream it. I'm a seer, but in my dreams,
- 39:45Speaker 12: like my dreams can speak to me and things come
- 39:47Speaker 12: to pass. So that's what it sounds like for me.
- 39:51Speaker 12: For most people who are always trying to figure out
- 39:54Speaker 12: is this God speaking to me?
- 39:55Speaker 2: Is this just my thoughts?
- 39:57Speaker 12: I will tell you that when you think of something,
- 40:00Speaker 12: you'll think of it and you may lose the thought
- 40:02Speaker 12: later right, may not even come back to you. But
- 40:05Speaker 12: when God is speaking to you, when he's putting something
- 40:06Speaker 12: inside of you, it won't let you rest. It'll keep
- 40:09Speaker 12: coming back. And so that's how you can kind of decipher.
- 40:14Speaker 12: And then sometimes he will use a voice that's familiar
- 40:17Speaker 12: to you. And when you gift it, sometime it do
- 40:20Speaker 12: feel like you're crazy, and other people think that as well.
- 40:23Speaker 12: But now of course I know like, oh no, this
- 40:25Speaker 12: is just my gift and I don't hide it anymore.
- 40:27Speaker 12: I don't straight away from it. I wrote about in
- 40:29Speaker 12: my first book because I wanted people to know, like,
- 40:31Speaker 12: this is me. If you won't rock with tail, honey,
- 40:33Speaker 12: this is who I really am. I don't hide that
- 40:35Speaker 12: part of me anymore.
- 40:36Speaker 9: So, Wow, when you say you have a gift, so
- 40:38Speaker 9: are you clairvoyant? Are you like a medium?
- 40:40Speaker 23: I call it.
- 40:41Speaker 12: I'm a seeer right, It's just you know, that's a
- 40:44Speaker 12: gift that God gave me. I was born with it
- 40:47Speaker 12: in that way. Yeah, my whole life, I feel like
- 40:49Speaker 12: we all have discernment. We just don't all lean into it, right.
- 40:53Speaker 12: But for me, as a little girl would dream about
- 40:56Speaker 12: people I've never met before and wake up and tell
- 40:58Speaker 12: my mom and dad. They're like, oh, I such and such,
- 41:00Speaker 12: and they'd be like that person been dead twenty years,
- 41:02Speaker 12: Like you would never know that person, right. I can
- 41:05Speaker 12: remember being in my grandfather's funeral, but they're like, you
- 41:07Speaker 12: were ten months old.
- 41:08Speaker 4: It's no way for you to remember that. I don't know,
- 41:11Speaker 4: and I can't control it. That's the thing.
- 41:12Speaker 12: It just happens, like I gonna be talking to you
- 41:14Speaker 12: and something can just appear that I can see, and
- 41:18Speaker 12: it may be for you, or it may be to
- 41:19Speaker 12: protect me.
- 41:20Speaker 4: It's just a pen but I have no control over deb.
- 41:23Speaker 6: I was gonna ask you, so you know North Carolina?
- 41:25Speaker 4: Uh huh?
- 41:26Speaker 6: So now you pick up your family and you move
- 41:28Speaker 6: to LA. Yes, I was that conversation with your husband
- 41:31Speaker 6: and your child, and let's just go to l A a
- 41:33Speaker 6: place we don't know.
- 41:34Speaker 2: You gotta find a new job in this good Carolina.
- 41:37Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:37Speaker 12: Yeah, it's crazy because at first my husband's like, so
- 41:41Speaker 12: in ninety eight, I moved to California in pursuit of acting,
- 41:45Speaker 12: but I wasn't in LA and I was like in
- 41:47Speaker 12: Orange County, and I didn't tell my husband. He was
- 41:51Speaker 12: my boyfriend at the time, Like how bad it was?
- 41:52Speaker 12: I ain't telling nobody. I was renting the room from
- 41:54Speaker 12: somebody who was like taking all my money. But you know,
- 41:56Speaker 12: I'm like young, like nineteen, I really want to get
- 41:58Speaker 12: this dream out of me and I want to do something.
- 42:01Speaker 12: And so our plan was for him to move out
- 42:03Speaker 12: a couple months later, you know, and then we would
- 42:05Speaker 12: get our own place. But when he moved out and
- 42:07Speaker 12: saw how I was living, he was like, no, this
- 42:08Speaker 12: is crazy. He's like, you working two jobs and survive.
- 42:11Speaker 12: You ain't nowhere near LA. You're not pursuing acting. He
- 42:14Speaker 12: was like, we need to move back to North Carolina
- 42:16Speaker 12: so that we could save but money because it's cheaper.
- 42:17Speaker 12: He was like, we can stay for one year then
- 42:19Speaker 12: move back to LA so you can really pursue your dreams.
- 42:21Speaker 12: That one year turned into five years and a forgotten
- 42:25Speaker 12: dream right until I had that experience that morning. So
- 42:28Speaker 12: when I told my husband after I worked that job
- 42:30Speaker 12: for like a year, I was like, now it's time
- 42:31Speaker 12: for us to move back to LA.
- 42:32Speaker 23: He was like nah. I was like, well, listen, I can.
- 42:35Speaker 12: I can go out there, but like I can feel
- 42:37Speaker 12: it calling me and I can come back and forth.
- 42:39Speaker 4: He was like, oh, no, we're not going to do that.
- 42:41Speaker 6: I can imagine those arguments you gonna go with.
- 42:44Speaker 12: And I don't know what money I thought I had
- 42:46Speaker 12: that I could be by coastal Okay, and go back
- 42:48Speaker 12: and forth. I don't know what I was thinking, but
- 42:50Speaker 12: we saved up like eight thousand dollars. Took us some
- 42:53Speaker 12: months and we moved to LA And we first got there,
- 42:56Speaker 12: we was living in Barwen Hills and my husband, I mean,
- 42:58Speaker 12: we're both from the same hometown, you know, we're from Eden.
- 43:00Speaker 4: It's a bear small town in North Carolina. And our apartment.
- 43:04Speaker 12: I had flew out there to find our apartment because
- 43:06Speaker 12: back then my husband used to be afraid to fly,
- 43:08Speaker 12: you know, people from the country. They'd be like, I
- 43:10Speaker 12: don't getting on no plane, you know. So I had
- 43:12Speaker 12: went back and forth to find us a place and
- 43:13Speaker 12: I found a cute this this spot was cute to me, right,
- 43:17Speaker 12: And but it did have the bars on the window
- 43:18Speaker 12: because most of them do in LA.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Right.
- 43:21Speaker 4: So, but we weren't used to that.
- 43:23Speaker 12: But I didn't tell him because in my mind I
- 43:25Speaker 12: thought it was nice, and it was.
- 43:27Speaker 23: It did turn out to be nice.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Was he able to bring his gun with them?
- 43:31Speaker 4: He did?
- 43:31Speaker 2: Action, Okay, you.
- 43:32Speaker 4: Know what he did.
- 43:33Speaker 9: He did.
- 43:36Speaker 2: Carolina Garden.
- 43:37Speaker 1: No, he did.
- 43:39Speaker 12: But when we got that he was hot. He was
- 43:40Speaker 12: like you what we was like right off Crenshaw. Yeah,
- 43:44Speaker 12: he was like, what babe, we got a door there.
- 43:46Speaker 12: I was like, babe, I didn't scolped it out. This
- 43:49Speaker 12: is a good area, I promise you. And because there
- 43:52Speaker 12: was you know, that was when the reality show ball
- 43:54Speaker 12: when Hills was out. Remember that, I said, we live
- 43:56Speaker 12: in Baldwin Hills. It's just that we don't live in
- 43:59Speaker 12: View Park, but where we part we could see the view.
- 44:01Speaker 12: Like I'm trying to sell it all right. But he
- 44:04Speaker 12: got used to it over time. But you know, in
- 44:06Speaker 12: the beginning, we was a little we was at odds
- 44:08Speaker 12: for a while, but you know, we saved up for
- 44:10Speaker 12: five years.
- 44:11Speaker 4: And we loved it.
- 44:11Speaker 6: Wow.
- 44:12Speaker 9: One of the moments that we all saw that went
- 44:15Speaker 9: viral was when you retired your husband and you know,
- 44:18Speaker 9: Wendy Williams had made some statements about you and the
- 44:20Speaker 9: way you responded. You responded with such grace and such love.
- 44:24Speaker 9: It was almost like, I hope you heal absolutely moment.
- 44:27Speaker 9: Do you respond like that always?
- 44:29Speaker 23: In this season? In my life?
- 44:31Speaker 4: Yes?
- 44:31Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean the old tab probably would have had
- 44:34Speaker 12: that get back spirit, right, But she didn't even know me,
- 44:39Speaker 12: and I don't know her other than knowing her from
- 44:41Speaker 12: you know her her career. But you can also tell
- 44:45Speaker 12: when somebody is hurt. And we've all been through things
- 44:48Speaker 12: that caused us to project and feel a certain way.
- 44:52Speaker 12: But I'm not going to exhaust energy and give anybody
- 44:55Speaker 12: control over me to anger me.
- 44:58Speaker 6: Right.
- 44:58Speaker 12: So but also I just love people despite what anybody
- 45:02Speaker 12: have to say about me. There's so many people now
- 45:04Speaker 12: that that hate me, that don't know me, but I
- 45:07Speaker 12: love them. It also makes me want to love harder
- 45:09Speaker 12: in the world because people are hurting. Right. You know,
- 45:14Speaker 12: a lot of people think that I'm fake because I'm
- 45:16Speaker 12: nice and I'm like, I'm a kind, I'm compassionate. I
- 45:21Speaker 12: held my mama's hand while she died, like I've seen
- 45:23Speaker 12: death so many times, like I have also almost lost
- 45:27Speaker 12: my life.
- 45:28Speaker 23: Why would I not be happy and joyful?
- 45:31Speaker 12: I'm still here sure, right, So it hurts my heart
- 45:35Speaker 12: for other people when I know that they're just hurting
- 45:39Speaker 12: and they don't mean any harm in a way that
- 45:42Speaker 12: they it's really they're trying to make themselves feel better.
- 45:45Speaker 12: They're projecting right, they're projecting, and so the harm is
- 45:49Speaker 12: really they're doing it to themselves because they're not. Instead
- 45:52Speaker 12: of projecting, you should be trying to heal yourself and
- 45:56Speaker 12: get what you need to feel better.
- 45:57Speaker 4: But I don't know, did you get a lot of
- 45:59Speaker 4: flak for it?
- 45:59Speaker 6: Because you know what it told me during that time
- 46:02Speaker 6: is people don't understand love. Yeah, right, you love your husband.
- 46:07Speaker 6: You were financially fine, and you can make sure that
- 46:10Speaker 6: he's okay, you know, and it doesn't matter if he's
- 46:13Speaker 6: a man, he's a woman, or what he is. You
- 46:14Speaker 6: love me and you had the opportunity to retire man
- 46:16Speaker 6: and men do it for women all the time. So
- 46:18Speaker 6: I didn't see it. So did you get a lot
- 46:19Speaker 6: of flat for it?
- 46:20Speaker 1: Oh?
- 46:20Speaker 21: Yeah?
- 46:21Speaker 12: I mean a lot of people had something to say
- 46:23Speaker 12: about it, but that's their opinion.
- 46:26Speaker 4: I don't care.
- 46:28Speaker 12: That ain't my business. But I also realized that a
- 46:32Speaker 12: lot of people don't understand partnership.
- 46:36Speaker 10: Right.
- 46:36Speaker 12: I've been my husband twenty six years, amazing, more than
- 46:39Speaker 12: half my life. Right, most people don't even understand that.
- 46:43Speaker 6: How do he feel?
- 46:45Speaker 4: He felt amazing?
- 46:46Speaker 12: But after what people don't know is I had been
- 46:50Speaker 12: trying to retire my husband for like two years, we
- 46:52Speaker 12: had enough money. He was like, that money came to quit. Bay,
- 46:56Speaker 12: I don't want to do that to you now, just
- 46:58Speaker 12: in case. Yeah, he was like, nah, I know one
- 47:00Speaker 12: plus one equal two.
- 47:01Speaker 2: We don't know.
- 47:02Speaker 12: Because he also has watched me in Hollywood over twenty
- 47:05Speaker 12: years not get jobs for six months or two years
- 47:08Speaker 12: or whatever.
- 47:09Speaker 4: He was like, we can't.
- 47:10Speaker 12: We can't count on this new money, right, And so
- 47:13Speaker 12: I was like, Babe, I promise you I got the
- 47:17Speaker 12: amount of money that we have always said that we
- 47:19Speaker 12: have this amount of money in the bank. Tax has
- 47:21Speaker 12: been paid. We don't owe nobody that you will retire.
- 47:25Speaker 12: And he was like, all right, and let me think
- 47:27Speaker 12: about it. He took a leave first. He just was like,
- 47:30Speaker 12: I don't want that on your back, you know, even
- 47:33Speaker 12: though he has a nonprofit, but it wasn't gonna make that,
- 47:36Speaker 12: you know, coming straight down. He won't gonna make the
- 47:37Speaker 12: kind of money he was making before. And I was like,
- 47:40Speaker 12: but now you can build it. Now you can do
- 47:42Speaker 12: all the things you wanted to do.
- 47:43Speaker 16: Right.
- 47:43Speaker 12: So it took him a while, but afterwards, now listen,
- 47:47Speaker 12: right now, what time is that they might be on
- 47:49Speaker 12: the golf course?
- 47:50Speaker 4: Okay, listen.
- 47:51Speaker 12: He worked with his kids three four days a week,
- 47:53Speaker 12: but he'd be on that golf course.
- 47:54Speaker 4: He is, he is feeling it now, he about it. Absolute.
- 47:58Speaker 6: We got more with Tabatha Brown when we come back,
- 48:00Speaker 6: so don't move. It's to Breakfast clucle morning morning. Everybody
- 48:02Speaker 6: in is dj NV Charlomagne to God, we are to
- 48:05Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Are still kicking it with Tabitha Brown, Charlomagne.
- 48:08Speaker 9: Let's talk about this book. I did a new thing,
- 48:10Speaker 9: your new book. Yes, all thirty days of living free.
- 48:13Speaker 9: When it's living free to Tabitha Brown.
- 48:16Speaker 12: Well, you know freedom over coach switching right, We talked
- 48:18Speaker 12: about that. But living free is like taking the opportunity
- 48:22Speaker 12: to do something even if it scares you, right, just
- 48:25Speaker 12: doing something new.
- 48:26Speaker 11: Right.
- 48:26Speaker 12: I started doing this challenge in twenty fourteen. I was
- 48:30Speaker 12: really just in search of, like getting to know myself
- 48:33Speaker 12: better because I still was not free. And I would
- 48:36Speaker 12: do something new, whether it be with my kids or
- 48:38Speaker 12: by myself, and just to see how it would open
- 48:41Speaker 12: my mind and how it would make me feel. And
- 48:43Speaker 12: so I did that over the years, and I would always,
- 48:46Speaker 12: you know, learn something new about myself, like I discovered
- 48:49Speaker 12: my love for hiking, and I was like, oh shoot,
- 48:51Speaker 12: I never would have thought that I would love hiking.
- 48:53Speaker 12: And then now it's something I have continued to do
- 48:56Speaker 12: over the years, and so I was like, if I
- 48:59Speaker 12: do this again, I think I want to write a book.
- 49:01Speaker 12: So last year I did it for thirty days and
- 49:04Speaker 12: I journaled it and made it into a book. And
- 49:06Speaker 12: my hope was that other people want to, you know,
- 49:09Speaker 12: live free and try new things and the other thing
- 49:12Speaker 12: about freedom. In order to like really go out and
- 49:17Speaker 12: do something new, that's the only way you're gonna know
- 49:19Speaker 12: if you love something or you don't like it, right,
- 49:22Speaker 12: you have to be willing to be like, I don't care,
- 49:24Speaker 12: I just want to find out. Let me just see right. So,
- 49:26Speaker 12: and it also could be something as simple as I'm
- 49:28Speaker 12: gonna work my hair different right now I'm doing. You know,
- 49:30Speaker 12: my hair name is Donna. So I'm doing while I'm
- 49:33Speaker 12: on tour, I'm making a new hair style every day.
- 49:35Speaker 2: He say his name is Donna.
- 49:36Speaker 4: Yeah, her name Donna like Donna. Oh, it's just Donna.
- 49:40Speaker 10: Well.
- 49:40Speaker 12: I named after don King because put together don K today.
- 49:48Speaker 12: But she got her name because when I was I
- 49:50Speaker 12: did the big chopping when she was growing back one
- 49:51Speaker 12: night I was cooking live and it was like straight
- 49:54Speaker 12: up in the top. I was like, why's that piece
- 49:56Speaker 12: of hair, you know, sticking straight up looking like don King.
- 49:58Speaker 23: I was like, I'm about to call her Donna.
- 50:00Speaker 2: It's stuck, It's stuck.
- 50:01Speaker 9: Yeah. I love that you dedicated your new book to you.
- 50:05Speaker 24: Yeah.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Why was that important to do?
- 50:07Speaker 12: Causeinay, I'm the one who made the decision to choose myself,
- 50:11Speaker 12: sure right, And I made the decision to stop being
- 50:14Speaker 12: afraid and to live my life my way and to
- 50:18Speaker 12: try new things. And the biggest thing I ever did
- 50:21Speaker 12: for thirty days was go vegan, and it saved my life.
- 50:25Speaker 23: And I was like, girl, this youtab.
- 50:26Speaker 12: I prayed that I forever and always do new things
- 50:30Speaker 12: every day.
- 50:31Speaker 23: I want to do that for the rest of my life.
- 50:33Speaker 6: I was going to ask, you know, so many people
- 50:35Speaker 6: listening right, how did you know not to give up?
- 50:37Speaker 16: Right?
- 50:37Speaker 6: Because I'm sure there's somebody listening right now that's been
- 50:40Speaker 6: trying music for ten years and it didn't work, And
- 50:42Speaker 6: somebody that's trying acting it didn't work. Somebody's trying to
- 50:45Speaker 6: be in the chef, somebody's trying to be an author,
- 50:46Speaker 6: somebody's trying to do something online and creating videos and
- 50:49Speaker 6: nobody's watching, and they probably said I felt I got
- 50:53Speaker 6: a sign. Yeah, when did you tell them to say,
- 50:56Speaker 6: maybe that's not the sign and maybe the change or
- 50:59Speaker 6: you know, how do you somebody to continue to keep
- 51:01Speaker 6: doing what they're doing because you could have gave up
- 51:02Speaker 6: so many times?
- 51:03Speaker 12: Yeah, I would never really tell anybody to give up.
- 51:07Speaker 10: Right.
- 51:08Speaker 12: If you think God has given you a sign, then
- 51:10Speaker 12: trust the signs. For me, it was always signs, and
- 51:14Speaker 12: that's confirmation. If it won't let you rest, if you
- 51:19Speaker 12: try to give up and it won't let you, those
- 51:21Speaker 12: are the signs that we have to not ignore. But
- 51:25Speaker 12: also we have to kind of ignore the noise of
- 51:29Speaker 12: people who tell you you can't. But also we have
- 51:33Speaker 12: to be honest with ourselves. If you are not really
- 51:36Speaker 12: doing the work for the dream that you have, is
- 51:40Speaker 12: it really your dream?
- 51:42Speaker 4: Right?
- 51:42Speaker 12: Because sometimes it might be a goal. And the difference
- 51:45Speaker 12: between a goal and a dream is a goal is
- 51:47Speaker 12: something that you create. A dream is deposited inside of you.
- 51:51Speaker 12: God does that. You don't make up a dream, it
- 51:55Speaker 12: lives inside of you. So be honest with yourself. Do
- 51:58Speaker 12: you want it?
- 51:58Speaker 23: Because you see somebody else with it.
- 52:00Speaker 4: It would look cool to you. Do you just want
- 52:02Speaker 4: to make money or is it something that won't let
- 52:05Speaker 4: you rest?
- 52:06Speaker 6: Another chapter? Do something that breaks the rules but not
- 52:10Speaker 6: the law.
- 52:12Speaker 12: Oh so I tell people that all the time, Like,
- 52:15Speaker 12: you know, some rules are said by us, you know,
- 52:18Speaker 12: by people as well as laws.
- 52:20Speaker 6: Right, but your kids come back with you all the time.
- 52:23Speaker 6: Mommy said, break the rules.
- 52:25Speaker 4: It's not the law exactly exactly. But I talk about
- 52:29Speaker 4: this in the book that you know.
- 52:30Speaker 12: I had got invited to a party, you know, and
- 52:34Speaker 12: it was a strict dress code where they wanted you
- 52:36Speaker 12: to wear black. I don't like wearing black, and this
- 52:40Speaker 12: is about as black as a gift for me. I
- 52:41Speaker 12: love color. It makes me happy when I wear like
- 52:44Speaker 12: all black, it makes.
- 52:45Speaker 4: Me feel weird full.
- 52:47Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't know, like even at funerals, like in
- 52:49Speaker 12: my family we wear a lot of colors, or we
- 52:51Speaker 12: were white, but it just makes me feel a little
- 52:54Speaker 12: I don't know, maybe sad. And I realize that if
- 52:55Speaker 12: I do wear I got to have like a proper color.
- 52:57Speaker 12: My lips are something I don't know. But I was like,
- 53:00Speaker 12: I don't want to wear black to this thing. I
- 53:03Speaker 12: gotta figure something out. So I found like I had
- 53:06Speaker 12: this it was like a blaze, but it was the
- 53:08Speaker 12: background was black, but they had a bunch of colors
- 53:10Speaker 12: and patterns on it.
- 53:11Speaker 23: And I wore like some black beilt bottomed pants.
- 53:13Speaker 12: Got there and a lot of other people hadn't wore black,
- 53:17Speaker 12: and so I was like, this is why we can
- 53:20Speaker 12: break the rules sometimes.
- 53:21Speaker 21: You know.
- 53:22Speaker 12: I could have said, Okay, I'm gonna wear all black
- 53:24Speaker 12: and been uncomfortable all night and then got there and
- 53:26Speaker 12: being mad, like, look.
- 53:27Speaker 4: At the people.
- 53:29Speaker 12: They ain't wear what they said. We're supposed to wear it, right,
- 53:31Speaker 12: So that's what I mean by that. Sometime we can
- 53:33Speaker 12: break the rules. Just don't break the law.
- 53:35Speaker 9: But you ain't never gonna follow in the dress code
- 53:37Speaker 9: if it's an all white party and nothing.
- 53:40Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean I would wear it, but it's
- 53:45Speaker 12: gonna have to have a little something that make me
- 53:46Speaker 12: feel like taped, you know, because I also want to
- 53:49Speaker 12: go and be myself, you know, So do something that
- 53:52Speaker 12: requires you to face your losses. That's a powerful So
- 53:58Speaker 12: when I you know, I had a restaurant, right and
- 54:01Speaker 12: when I had my restaurant, it was a partnership and
- 54:05Speaker 12: we had a lot of problems with the building and
- 54:07Speaker 12: so cause the kill my name is the restaurant in
- 54:10Speaker 12: Chicago that I fell in love with. So when he
- 54:11Speaker 12: came to LA, I was like, oh, I partnered with
- 54:13Speaker 12: you an open a restaurant, which I didn't know the
- 54:15Speaker 12: restaurant business. But this building gave us a lot of issues,
- 54:18Speaker 12: and so we ultimately had to close.
- 54:22Speaker 4: And so I was.
- 54:23Speaker 12: Like, oh, man, it felt like a loss to me
- 54:28Speaker 12: because I had had, you.
- 54:29Speaker 23: Know, so much happening. People would come in.
- 54:31Speaker 12: I would people come from all over to just meet
- 54:34Speaker 12: me at the restaurant. And I wasn't there every day,
- 54:36Speaker 12: but on the weekends or whenever I could, I would
- 54:38Speaker 12: go and just be there all day to make sure
- 54:40Speaker 12: I got to see people when they came. We ended
- 54:42Speaker 12: up having to shut it down, and I was like
- 54:46Speaker 12: really kind of hurt about, you know, for a while,
- 54:48Speaker 12: and I really couldn't talk about it because we were having
- 54:50Speaker 12: legal problems with the you know, the building on it,
- 54:51Speaker 12: because it was the whole thing. When it was time
- 54:53Speaker 12: to do my taxes, now I've been carrying this, like, man,
- 54:57Speaker 12: I feel so bad about it. I realized that the
- 55:01Speaker 12: loss had really blessed me. I wasn't wind right and
- 55:06Speaker 12: so I was like, sometimes we got to look at
- 55:08Speaker 12: the loss for what it is. Maybe it ain't a loss,
- 55:11Speaker 12: you know. But also it opened up doors for me.
- 55:13Speaker 12: And now I have, you know, my food and stuff
- 55:14Speaker 12: at Target. So I was like, it won't necessarily a loss.
- 55:18Speaker 12: You know, we can't always look at them, you know,
- 55:20Speaker 12: things like that. So it actually blessed me because I
- 55:23Speaker 12: ain't have to pay as much.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Let's run some of this stub down now. So you
- 55:27Speaker 2: got deals with Target? Who else? Come on, no need
- 55:30Speaker 2: to be humble in this moment. Act like a rapper

- 55:36Speaker 9: You got deals with Target, you got book deals?

- 57:30Speaker 6: have went to college? Is shack talking about it?
- 57:33Speaker 9: What was it about campus that made you say this

- 58:00Speaker 10: that you know, along with you know, people like yourself
- 58:03Speaker 10: with doing his injury, We're going to bring attention to
- 58:05Speaker 10: this matter. You know a lot of people, and you
- 58:08Speaker 10: know I would saying earlier, I don't know what it
- 58:10Speaker 10: takes to go to junior college, Like I wouldn't even
- 58:12Speaker 10: went to college if for one for my basketball scholarship.
- 58:15Speaker 10: I know there's a lot of people that are, you know,
- 58:17Speaker 10: getting the higher end. They want to further of their education.
- 58:19Speaker 10: But you know, a lot of things throw him up.
- 58:21Speaker 10: But he hasn't beened, you know. I mean, you know,
- 58:23Speaker 10: what he's been thinking about for a long time is
- 58:25Speaker 10: very very impressive.
- 58:26Speaker 2: I love it.
- 58:27Speaker 9: I didn't go to college, you know what I'm saying.
- 58:28Speaker 9: But I understand the importance of a college education. But
- 58:30Speaker 9: I don't think people should go broke for a college education,
- 58:33Speaker 9: you know. And and I'm a big proponent of a
- 58:35Speaker 9: you know, trade trade school as well. But either way,
- 58:38Speaker 9: a lot of people can't afford to do either one
- 58:40Speaker 9: of these things. So I salute the Shack for what
- 58:42Speaker 9: he's doing. Absolutely. It's one of the reasons I opened
- 58:45Speaker 9: up for a scholarship for at South Carolina State University, which,
- 58:48Speaker 9: by the way, the deadline is February sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
- 58:51Speaker 9: You can apply at bit dot l y slash forward
- 58:54Speaker 9: Family SCSU Scholarship for all South Carolina State residents and
- 58:59Speaker 9: seniors and more seniors that's come to say university.
- 59:02Speaker 6: Now, if you're a big TikToker like Charlemagne is. That's
- 59:05Speaker 6: a goddamn Universal is TikTok Universal Universal Music Group is
- 59:10Speaker 6: threatening to pull their artists off of the TikTok platform. Now,
- 59:14Speaker 6: this is over a contract dispute. Now, TikTok and Universal
- 59:17Speaker 6: has been going back and forth. TikTok is basically saying, look,
- 59:20Speaker 6: we made agreements with all these other labels and all
- 59:22Speaker 6: these other places. What's the problem with us. And Universal
- 59:26Speaker 6: is saying, now, there's a bunch of things that we
- 59:28Speaker 6: got to discuss. We have to discuss. You can't take
- 59:30Speaker 6: out our artists off and use AI. There's a couple
- 59:32Speaker 6: of things that they want and they won't approve using
- 59:35Speaker 6: the artists until these things are taken care of. TikTok
- 59:39Speaker 6: is saying, you guys just want the money. You guys
- 59:41Speaker 6: are just saying you're an artist first agreement, but clearly
- 59:44Speaker 6: you guys just want more money and more situations in
- 59:48Speaker 6: a more benefit role. And Universal Music Group is saying, no,
- 59:51Speaker 6: that's not the case. We want to protect our artists
- 59:54Speaker 6: and protect our music.
- 59:55Speaker 9: So I don't believe that I believe that they're fighting
- 59:58Speaker 9: over who can make the most money. I don't think
- 59:59Speaker 9: the artists in that question at all. I think TikTok
- 1:00:03Speaker 9: is like, we want to make all the money. Universe
- 1:00:05Speaker 9: is like, we want to make all the money. And
- 1:00:08Speaker 9: I don't hear the artists being mentioned in that at
- 1:00:10Speaker 9: I'm shocked that they even said that at the end
- 1:00:12Speaker 9: while looking out for the artists.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: I don't believe that.
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: Now. Their demands include protection against AI generated recordings, online
- 1:00:19Speaker 6: safety issues for user, and higher conversation for its artists
- 1:00:22Speaker 6: and songwriters.
- 1:00:23Speaker 9: That's what Universal is asking for. I'll tell you something else,
- 1:00:26Speaker 9: and this is just me talking. I don't know anything
- 1:00:28Speaker 9: about this, you know, I have no facts of proof
- 1:00:30Speaker 9: to back this up, because it seems to me that
- 1:00:32Speaker 9: most of these kids would rather be on TikTok more
- 1:00:34Speaker 9: than record labels nowadays anyway, because TikTok is breaking so
- 1:00:38Speaker 9: many records.
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: TikTok breaks more records than labels do. And that's that's
- 1:00:42Speaker 6: what they've been saying. That's what the labels are saying,
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: Like TikTok is almost like a music platform where people
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: hear music, and since they're playing music, we got to
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: protect our artists, make sure they can't do AI generated things,
- 1:00:52Speaker 6: make sure that the conversation is better because you hear
- 1:00:55Speaker 6: it all the time that somebody a stream or or
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: it'd be so many millions of download and they'll make
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: twenty dollars. So they're trying to make sure that the
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: artist accountisation labels.
- 1:01:04Speaker 9: If I own my music right and I'm already getting
- 1:01:07Speaker 9: paid off my music and I'm using TikTok as a
- 1:01:09Speaker 9: distribution platform, wow, I'd rather be on TikTok and just
- 1:01:12Speaker 9: getting people my music as opposed to signing to a
- 1:01:14Speaker 9: label then letting the label put it on TikTok and
- 1:01:16Speaker 9: then the label.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: Out and go right to TikTok. That's true, That is true?
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: All right, well that is your rumor reports. Now, Chelamann,
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: who are giving your donkey two?
- 1:01:26Speaker 9: You know for Donkey of the Day to day? I

- 1:03:04Speaker 9: Saint Louis. All right, are a twenty year old former
- 1:03:07Speaker 9: employee of the Starbucks in Saint Louis, Michael Harris. See,
- 1:03:11Speaker 9: Michael Harris was fired from Starbucks in Saint Louis, and
- 1:03:14Speaker 9: he is currently suing the whole coffee chain, saying he
- 1:03:17Speaker 9: was wrongfully terminated after he confronted robbers at the store.
- 1:03:21Speaker 9: Oh my god, No, Now, y'all know how I feel
- 1:03:24Speaker 9: about that. These franchises ain't dying for you. Okay, somebody
- 1:03:26Speaker 9: coming there and rob the star Let him have it,
- 1:03:28Speaker 9: all right, it ain't yours.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: They pull out a pistol here, man, you can have
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: all the pistachiol, frappucino, blended beverages you want, all right here.
- 1:03:34Speaker 9: Take the get cards at the counter. You want a
- 1:03:36Speaker 9: couple dollars out the register, you can take that too.
- 1:03:38Speaker 9: Just gone about your business, all right? You nucked, and
- 1:03:40Speaker 9: I ain't about to buck over. No, damn Starbucks are
- 1:03:43Speaker 9: any fast food a retail chain for that matter.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I'm making minimum wage. Okay.
- 1:03:47Speaker 9: By the way, I don't care if you're a store
- 1:03:48Speaker 9: manager making a salary. I'm not dying over no white
- 1:03:51Speaker 9: chocolate mocha frappucino blended beverage.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:03:54Speaker 9: Now there is exceptions to the rule because sometimes you
- 1:03:58Speaker 9: are not defending the star you have to yourself. And
- 1:04:00Speaker 9: if you ask me, Michael Harris was in a position
- 1:04:03Speaker 9: we had to defend himself. Let's go to NBC five
- 1:04:05Speaker 9: on your side for the report.
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: Police.
- 1:04:06Speaker 26: I thought I was gonna die that day. They walked
- 1:04:09Speaker 26: in announced that it was a robbery.
- 1:04:11Speaker 27: Twenty year old Michael Harris was working the drive through
- 1:04:14Speaker 27: here at the Starbucks on South Grand in Midtown.
- 1:04:17Speaker 26: Then they started going up to people and firsteing them
- 1:04:21Speaker 26: for stuff, and.
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: We started to fight back against him, he says.
- 1:04:25Speaker 27: When the two men then demanded cash from the register,
- 1:04:29Speaker 27: he tried to open it, he says. One of the
- 1:04:31Speaker 27: bad guys then hit him on the head with the gun.
- 1:04:34Speaker 27: He tells me he felt emboldened to stand his ground,
- 1:04:38Speaker 27: especially when he realized the gun he had just been
- 1:04:41Speaker 27: attacked with was faith.
- 1:04:43Speaker 6: Trigger for it like came busted off.
- 1:04:45Speaker 26: And then that's when we noticed us and started to
- 1:04:48Speaker 26: fight back.
- 1:04:48Speaker 27: Not knowing if the crooks had another gun, Harris said
- 1:04:51Speaker 27: he wanted to be careful. Eventually, one of the crooks
- 1:04:54Speaker 27: took off. Harris and another coworker were able to restrain
- 1:04:58Speaker 27: the other until police could get there. Weeks after the situation,
- 1:05:03Speaker 27: Harris says he got a callated me.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Damn, b you can bring it in here. You can
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: bring the chaps to get in my lipso goddamn dry.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: First rule of nature is self preservation, okay. Michael Harris
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: said he felt like he was gonna die that day.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:05:17Speaker 9: Michael Harris said he felt like he was gonna die
- 1:05:19Speaker 9: that day. Michael Harris got hitting the head with the
- 1:05:22Speaker 9: fake gun, so his blood was probably boiling, Okay. He
- 1:05:25Speaker 9: was probably enraged, and then he realized the gun was
- 1:05:27Speaker 9: fake because he noticed the trigger had fell off, so
- 1:05:30Speaker 9: he sprung into action. Now I don't know if he's
- 1:05:32Speaker 9: sprung in the action because he was trying to get
- 1:05:33Speaker 9: his look back for getting hit with the gun. I
- 1:05:35Speaker 9: don't know if he still felt like his life was
- 1:05:37Speaker 9: in danger. I don't know if he was defending Starbucks.
- 1:05:39Speaker 9: I just know he was fired weeks later and never
- 1:05:43Speaker 9: given the reason as to why now a lot of
- 1:05:45Speaker 9: these franchises like Starbucks have protocols in place, then sure
- 1:05:48Speaker 9: things like this don't happen. In fact, Starbucks said about
- 1:05:51Speaker 9: this incident that all employees are expected to follow are
- 1:05:54Speaker 9: carefully crafted protocols to ensure the safety of customers and
- 1:05:58Speaker 9: partners during these situations. Starbucks says, in situations like this,
- 1:06:02Speaker 9: our training and protocols guide our partners to comply and
- 1:06:05Speaker 9: de escalate, not just for their safety, but for the
- 1:06:08Speaker 9: safety of all in the store, the safety of our
- 1:06:11Speaker 9: customers and partners. But guess what the Home of the
- 1:06:13Speaker 9: Caramel Apple Spice doesn't teach you. What's the proper procedure
- 1:06:17Speaker 9: when you got a gun into your head?
- 1:06:18Speaker 28: What the fucking precision when you got a gun in
- 1:06:22Speaker 28: your head?
- 1:06:23Speaker 9: Michael Harrison in the Turne he said Starbucks policy is unfair.
- 1:06:27Speaker 9: Their statement there is no way that an individual can
- 1:06:30Speaker 9: be faced with danger, attempted potential death for themselves or
- 1:06:33Speaker 9: another and then once they've been hit or down that
- 1:06:36Speaker 9: they cannot defend themselves. Linard agrees, Okay, you have to
- 1:06:40Speaker 9: factor in human emotions to all of this. Michael is
- 1:06:42Speaker 9: a young twenty year old man who felt like his
- 1:06:45Speaker 9: life was in danger. You can't be upset at him
- 1:06:48Speaker 9: for fighting back when he thinks he's getting robbed at
- 1:06:50Speaker 9: gunpoint and then he gets hit in the head with
- 1:06:51Speaker 9: a gun. In fact, he shouldn't be fired. He should
- 1:06:53Speaker 9: be employee of the month. He should be promoted the manager.
- 1:06:56Speaker 9: Let him get unlimited sugar cookie, almond milk frappuccinos. This
- 1:06:59Speaker 9: man earned that in much more. I believe if Michael
- 1:07:01Speaker 9: would have said he was fighting for the store and
- 1:07:03Speaker 9: not himself, he probably would still be employed today. But
- 1:07:06Speaker 9: I told you we're going to go to breakfast club court.
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:07:10Speaker 9: You heard the facts of the case, You've heard the situation.
- 1:07:13Speaker 9: So who should get the biggest he hal here? Michael plas, Yeah,
- 1:07:17Speaker 9: play him, get the breakfast to Michael for not following
- 1:07:20Speaker 9: store protocols even though his life was in danger. Are
- 1:07:23Speaker 9: Starbucks for allegedly firing Michael for not following store protocols?
- 1:07:28Speaker 9: Once again, who should get the biggest he haul here?
- 1:07:31Speaker 9: Michael for not following store protocols even though his life
- 1:07:34Speaker 9: was in danger. Are Starbucks for allegedly firing Michael for
- 1:07:39Speaker 9: not following store protocols even though his life was in danger.
- 1:07:42Speaker 9: I don't usually agree with employees playing hero when stares
- 1:07:45Speaker 9: they work at get robbed. But this was more than that.
- 1:07:48Speaker 9: This was a man defending himself because he was working
- 1:07:50Speaker 9: in a franchise that got robbed. There is a difference.
- 1:07:53Speaker 9: Let's discuss, all right.
- 1:07:54Speaker 6: Let's open up the phone lines eight hundred and five
- 1:07:56Speaker 6: eighty five, one oh five one. Now, the reason most
- 1:07:58Speaker 6: store owners are don't want people to apprehend shoplift. This
- 1:08:02Speaker 6: is because they are not insured to risk their health physically,
- 1:08:06Speaker 6: all right, So if something happens, they don't want to
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: be liable. If you die, they don't want to be liable.
- 1:08:10Speaker 6: But Charlemagne said something very specific. The man was hit
- 1:08:14Speaker 6: over the head with the guns defending himself. So now
- 1:08:16Speaker 6: it's not a robbery.
- 1:08:17Speaker 8: This is an.
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: Assault in his self preservation, and I have to defend
- 1:08:21Speaker 6: myself first law nature, self preservation. He wasn't defending that
- 1:08:24Speaker 6: store at that time. He was defending that head.
- 1:08:26Speaker 21: Pause pause, woo woo woo woo woo.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: God, Mad Mac, where's your whip?
- 1:08:32Speaker 25: Mac?
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: Jesus Christ? Mad back? Come on Mac, where's the need
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: that I'm going home?
- 1:08:42Speaker 6: Got hit over the No, no, no, bro, God call
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: us up now.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Let's just because your brain working that way.
- 1:08:50Speaker 6: The Breakfast Club, right, the Breakfast Club.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Its topic time called eight hundred five eight five one
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: five one to join it to the discussion with the
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: breakfast Club.
- 1:09:08Speaker 6: Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne, the God. We are
- 1:09:11Speaker 6: the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us. Charlemagne is
- 1:09:14Speaker 6: trying to decide if he should give donkeys a data who.
- 1:09:17Speaker 9: Well, here's the thing. Michael Harris twenty years old. He
- 1:09:19Speaker 9: was an employee of Starbucks.
- 1:09:20Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:09:21Speaker 9: He got fired from Starbucks because people came in there
- 1:09:23Speaker 9: to rob the store. One of the guys hit him
- 1:09:26Speaker 9: over the head with the gun, and he realized that
- 1:09:28Speaker 9: the gun was fake because he saw the trigger fall.
- 1:09:30Speaker 9: But he defended himself, correct, right, So weeks later Starbucks
- 1:09:33Speaker 9: fired him.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: So now Michael Harris is suing Starbucks. Now.
- 1:09:36Speaker 9: Usually I am totally against people fighting, you know, robbers
- 1:09:41Speaker 9: when they come in to rob the places that they
- 1:09:43Speaker 9: work at, because we know that none of these establishments,
- 1:09:46Speaker 9: these chained retail stores, we know they ain't dying for you,
- 1:09:49Speaker 9: so you shouldn't.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: Die for them.
- 1:09:50Speaker 9: But this is a different case. This man was not
- 1:09:53Speaker 9: defending Starbucks. He was defending himself. The first law of nature,
- 1:09:57Speaker 9: his self preservation got hitting the head with a gun.
- 1:10:00Speaker 9: Once he realized the gun was fake, he went and
- 1:10:02Speaker 9: made his move. That's not mad at that. I don't
- 1:10:05Speaker 9: think he should be fired, but it's not up to me.
- 1:10:07Speaker 9: It's up to the people. All right, that's coming to
- 1:10:09Speaker 9: I don't think he should be Donkey to day, but
- 1:10:10Speaker 9: it's not to mean.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: It's up to people. Hello, who's this Hi?
- 1:10:13Speaker 24: This is Laobi.
- 1:10:14Speaker 6: Hey Laomi, good morning, Good morning. Now you heard the story.
- 1:10:18Speaker 6: Do you think Michael should get Donkey or Starbucks?
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: Okay?
- 1:10:21Speaker 20: I think it depends on you know what race is Michael, because.
- 1:10:27Speaker 7: He is like you know of the talkaboy race.
- 1:10:29Speaker 17: And he said that did it, and he said.
- 1:10:31Speaker 6: The mind his business, and he said, let whatever.
- 1:10:34Speaker 20: Happen and fall on the poor and just let this
- 1:10:37Speaker 20: guys do.
- 1:10:38Speaker 7: When he was sposed to now as he was black.
- 1:10:41Speaker 28: Starbus old him an apology and he needs his drop
- 1:10:44Speaker 28: back period because.
- 1:10:45Speaker 6: His black history. So he's black. Yes, queen queenstand what
- 1:10:50Speaker 6: you're saying.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: That is ridiculous. But he that is beyond ridiculous.
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: It's not about what his race was, yes, it does.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: It's about right or wrong in this situation. Black, oh,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: white man? How about the people who robbed him was black?
- 1:11:05Speaker 6: How about that?
- 1:11:05Speaker 10: Oh?
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:11:09Speaker 28: If he was robbed and he was black, you riding

- 1:12:51Speaker 19: Starbucks? Because they're not about to pay for that man center,
- 1:12:54Speaker 19: and so he had to do what he had to
- 1:12:55Speaker 19: do to keep his life.
- 1:12:56Speaker 6: That's right, Okay, thank you man, have problem know?
- 1:12:59Speaker 9: Okay, So currently we got one for Michael, one for Starbucks,
- 1:13:03Speaker 9: and one disqualified juror because she made it about race,
- 1:13:07Speaker 9: and I don't know why.
- 1:13:08Speaker 6: Eight hundred five eighty five one five. When we come back,
- 1:13:11Speaker 6: we're gonna take some more calls. It's the Breakfast Club.
- 1:13:13Speaker 6: Good morning morning, everybody at CJ and Bean. Charlamagne the guy.
- 1:13:17Speaker 6: We are to Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us.
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: Charlamage is trying to decide who he wants to give
- 1:13:21Speaker 6: donkey to get it, Starbucks or Michael.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: What happened?
- 1:13:24Speaker 9: Now, let me explain the situation. Michael Harris was an
- 1:13:26Speaker 9: employee at Starbucks in Saint Louis. Some guys came in
- 1:13:29Speaker 9: there to rob the Starbucks in Saint Louis. One of
- 1:13:32Speaker 9: the guys hit Michael in the head with a gun.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Then Michael realized that the gun was faked because he
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: saw the trigger fall off. So Michael decided to defend
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: himself and he fought back against the robber.
- 1:13:44Speaker 9: You know, and now weeks later, Starbucks has fired him,
- 1:13:47Speaker 9: and Michael believes he got fired because he didn't follow
- 1:13:50Speaker 9: their protocol, which is to comply and de escalate in
- 1:13:55Speaker 9: situations like that. But I feel like the first law
- 1:13:57Speaker 9: of nature is self preservation. You gotta in human emotion,
- 1:14:01Speaker 9: somebody think that their life is about to be taken.
- 1:14:03Speaker 9: They get hitting the head with a gun. I don't
- 1:14:05Speaker 9: have a problem with the young man defended himself in
- 1:14:07Speaker 9: that situation.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: Hello, who's this Malcolm? Malcolm?
- 1:14:10Speaker 6: What's up? Brother? What's your thoughts? Malcolm should get Donkey?
- 1:14:12Speaker 6: Should it be Starbucks or Michael? Listen?
- 1:14:14Speaker 7: I think both of them should get it. Be honest
- 1:14:16Speaker 7: with you, explain all right, Listen. I used to manage restaurrounds. Man,
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: I used to manage the Burger King.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: We got proud.
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: But I feel like I feel like Starbucks should be
- 1:14:24Speaker 7: smart enough to know that he wasn't defending Starbucks at
- 1:14:28Speaker 7: the time.
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: He was defending himself.
- 1:14:29Speaker 18: Starbucks.
- 1:14:30Speaker 7: They need to know that right off the back.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: So then why is he getting dunky Good?
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: He gotta get Dunky because he needs to know if
- 1:14:36Speaker 7: these dudes got guns drawn who regardless if you think
- 1:14:39Speaker 7: it's fake or not, you gotta take that lost because
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: you don't know if they got.
- 1:14:42Speaker 18: Another one or what's going on.
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: That's trying to sit there and take that.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: I thought about that too, Like.
- 1:14:47Speaker 7: They both got to share this and they need to
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: go somewhere and talk about it, and both of them
- 1:14:51Speaker 7: just be dounky and just living their.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Life like that.
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: Okay, Hello, who's this.
- 1:14:56Speaker 17: And her garter?

- 1:16:06Speaker 17: the starbars let him.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, so far that's three for Starbucks
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: before if you do kid and a daughter, Okay, well
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: I got all right.
- 1:16:17Speaker 6: She didn't vote though my mom didn't.
- 1:16:18Speaker 9: Mama didnt vote, didn't want vote, okay, cause she get
- 1:16:20Speaker 9: donkey today for being late.
- 1:16:22Speaker 6: Hello, who's that? This last one? This is hey destiny,
- 1:16:25Speaker 6: good morning. So who she get donk in today? Is
- 1:16:28Speaker 6: it Starbucks or is it Michael?
- 1:16:30Speaker 20: It's definitely going to be Starbucks, because I get it
- 1:16:32Speaker 20: what they have policies.
- 1:16:33Speaker 19: And procedures set for a reason.
- 1:16:36Speaker 20: However, if somebody sitting me across the head with a gun,
- 1:16:39Speaker 20: my notice said, it's fate and the pieces too, it
- 1:16:42Speaker 20: start to fall apart. Obviously, I'm going to take that
- 1:16:45Speaker 20: opportunity to defend myself and those around me because things
- 1:16:48Speaker 20: still could have went wrong. So I think he's bringing
- 1:16:50Speaker 20: to action and he should and Starbust definitely gets dunk
- 1:16:53Speaker 20: the other day.
- 1:16:54Speaker 6: Okay, thank you?
- 1:16:55Speaker 11: All right?
- 1:16:57Speaker 10: Vote.
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: We took one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- 1:17:03Speaker 9: We took seven calls right, eight calls, eight calls. One
- 1:17:08Speaker 9: Jurk got disqualified because she made it about race. So
- 1:17:10Speaker 9: that's seven. So we have one, two, three, four for Starbucks.
- 1:17:15Speaker 9: One dude voted for Michael Land Starbucks. More of the
- 1:17:18Speaker 9: story is Starbucks is getting the donkey of today. The
- 1:17:21Speaker 9: first law of nature is self preservation. That's right, first
- 1:17:23Speaker 9: law nature. And I feel like if he would have
- 1:17:25Speaker 9: told them, you know, he was trying to defend the store,
- 1:17:27Speaker 9: they probably wouldn't have done that to him. But even still,
- 1:17:30Speaker 9: you still get you got to defend yourself. First law
- 1:17:33Speaker 9: nature is self preservation. I'm not mad at the brother,
- 1:17:35Speaker 9: all right, So please let the Starbuck get the sweet
- 1:17:38Speaker 9: Sounge and the Hamiltons.
- 1:17:39Speaker 17: Oh no, you are the.

- 1:19:33Speaker 6: Maya Erskine is Miss Smith.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: Wells black white with doctor Wumar proof is.
- 1:19:37Speaker 10: What is it? Is it?
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: Did you just disqualify that lady for asking about race?
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: So that was ridiculous. That was just that made no
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: sense what she was asking. I'm just asking.
- 1:19:45Speaker 6: Let me look at up. Maya Erskine is. Okay, Well,
- 1:19:49Speaker 6: she's not black, she's Asian. She's Asian. She's an American. Actually, yes,

- 1:19:55Speaker 2: Okay, doctoring my witness proof. No, Okay, are they actually
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: married in the movie.
- 1:20:00Speaker 6: I just haven't seen have well in the old movie

- 1:20:07Speaker 2: Man, doctor whom I about to do a video about
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: mister Missus Smith, Doctor Umar missed and Missus Smith review
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: is coming soon.
- 1:20:13Speaker 6: It's coming soon to an Instagram. Jesus Christ. Now hit boy,
- 1:20:18Speaker 6: you know hit Boy producer. He did Niggas in Paris,
- 1:20:22Speaker 6: he did click Kanye West, he did backseat Freestyle, Kendrick
- 1:20:26Speaker 6: Lamar and a host of others bowed down for Beyonce
- 1:20:29Speaker 6: flooryless jealous, haunted, but he talks about producers being underpaid.
- 1:20:34Speaker 29: I want to empower to like produce a community because
- 1:20:37Speaker 29: like even looking at some of my OG's and legends
- 1:20:40Speaker 29: that I might know, the average person might not even
- 1:20:43Speaker 29: know who somebody that I know is an amazing human being,
- 1:20:45Speaker 29: an amazing talent.
- 1:20:46Speaker 6: They don't even know who the thing is.
- 1:20:48Speaker 29: Because history of this is the face is the.
- 1:20:51Speaker 6: One who's doing it.
- 1:20:52Speaker 29: Like I just chopped up a sample in front of
- 1:20:54Speaker 29: you right now, and like won't even see that process
- 1:20:57Speaker 29: at all. Here a song that ever is rapping over
- 1:21:01Speaker 29: it and be like, oh WHOOPI whoop sampled that song
- 1:21:04Speaker 29: when it's really hit boy sampled, you know what I mean?
- 1:21:06Speaker 29: They gonna just put it on the artists. And that's
- 1:21:08Speaker 29: because it's like the face value. And it's just like
- 1:21:10Speaker 29: producers get played, bro. I know other producers that's popping,
- 1:21:14Speaker 29: that's complaining about albums that dropped months ago that we
- 1:21:18Speaker 29: none of us got paid off of these out here
- 1:21:20Speaker 29: touring making millions of dollars, bro, And we're trying to
- 1:21:23Speaker 29: beg the label to pass a Measley fee.
- 1:21:26Speaker 9: I really wish more people would follow the Nas and
- 1:21:29Speaker 9: hip boy formula, right, because that's a formula that you know,
- 1:21:31Speaker 9: a lot of us grew up on when it was
- 1:21:33Speaker 9: like the Snoop Doggs and the Doctor Dre. Like one
- 1:21:35Speaker 9: one artist locked in with a producer for a whole
- 1:21:39Speaker 9: project and what him and NAS did, you know, was incredible, incredible.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: He's a three time Grammy win It's loot the hit
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: Boy for that. I think he's nominated. He's nominated though,
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: this is some Grammys this year too as well. Yeah,
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: again because the NOWS album is nominated.
- 1:21:51Speaker 6: Yeah. I do like when when producers locking, but I
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: also like when artists get different producers, right. I like
- 1:21:57Speaker 6: when when Jay has the ability to work work with Timberland,
- 1:22:00Speaker 6: Pharrell Primo, and then he'll work with Doctor Dre and
- 1:22:03Speaker 6: then he'll work with Hit Boy.
- 1:22:04Speaker 10: I like.
- 1:22:04Speaker 6: I like the fact that they're able to work in
- 1:22:06Speaker 6: different things, but but.
- 1:22:08Speaker 9: Out when they're when they're when they're together locked in,
- 1:22:11Speaker 9: it's just a more cohesive project most of the time.
- 1:22:13Speaker 10: It is.
- 1:22:14Speaker 9: You know, you think about those Wu tang Riza albums,
- 1:22:16Speaker 9: you know, those those those Death Row Doctor Dre produced albums.
- 1:22:20Speaker 6: It was their sound like when they're locked in with
- 1:22:22Speaker 6: one producer. To me, it's a more cohesive project. And
- 1:22:24Speaker 6: I will say with producers that there was a time
- 1:22:26Speaker 6: when producers were eating so much, back in the older
- 1:22:29Speaker 6: Timberland days and the Swiss Beats days, Like these producers
- 1:22:32Speaker 6: were getting two fifty a record, five hundred thousand record,
- 1:22:35Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty thousand record. Back then, it seemed
- 1:22:37Speaker 6: like it veered off a lot. But back in the day,
- 1:22:40Speaker 6: they used to stick these artists up absolutely positively. Lastly,
- 1:22:43Speaker 6: Candice Owens, she was on her podcast, The Canvas Own Podcast,
- 1:22:47Speaker 6: and she wanted to discuss a new record and it
- 1:22:50Speaker 6: was Ice Spices Fart.
- 1:22:53Speaker 28: Ice Spice recently released a song. It's called Think You
- 1:22:57Speaker 28: the Fart. Yeah, I'm sorry, that's the title of a song.
- 1:23:00Speaker 28: It's called think You Fart? And if you're wondering whether
- 1:23:03Speaker 28: or not it's a good song, what do you think?
- 1:23:06Speaker 28: It's called think You the Fart? Now, I think we
- 1:23:08Speaker 28: can all admit that we've fallen as a society. I mean,
- 1:23:12Speaker 28: I wouldn't say that that was Mozart or Beethoven, but
- 1:23:15Speaker 28: I'm not All of these mainstream media publications that routinely
- 1:23:19Speaker 28: rushed to defend this kind of music, similar to what
- 1:23:21Speaker 28: they did with rock the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics
- 1:23:23Speaker 28: I've ever read Here is hotnew hip hop dot com.
- 1:23:27Speaker 28: Rushing to defend this, I Spice employees direct and unapologetic
- 1:23:31Speaker 28: language to establish dominance over her peers, touching on the
- 1:23:35Speaker 28: themes of wealth, physical appeal, and personal prowess. I just
- 1:23:40Speaker 28: want to live in a society where we can all
- 1:23:42Speaker 28: acknowledge that a song that's entitled think You the Fart
- 1:23:45Speaker 28: is in fact itself a part.
- 1:23:51Speaker 17: Ay man.
- 1:23:52Speaker 9: You know it ain't for me. Man, I'm forty five
- 1:23:54Speaker 9: years old. I was born in nineteen hundred and seventy
- 1:23:57Speaker 9: eight year Okay for me, all right, I will say
- 1:24:03Speaker 9: this right, I ain't saying nothing.
- 1:24:05Speaker 6: I A for me.
- 1:24:06Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to say about that.
- 1:24:07Speaker 6: Since twenty three, she just turned twenty four.
- 1:24:10Speaker 9: She's doing her she's young, she's doing her that she's
- 1:24:12Speaker 9: she's making the best possible art that she can, and
- 1:24:16Speaker 9: you know, people are eating it up.
- 1:24:17Speaker 6: Candae Owens is thirty four years old. Of course she's
- 1:24:20Speaker 6: not going to get ice spices far, but there's a
- 1:24:23Speaker 6: generation of kids that nobody to get a.
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: Nice fart I hope wit Spice would have the coof
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: to not fart around people.
- 1:24:27Speaker 6: Bro, they love the song. Fart like this song is
- 1:24:30Speaker 6: a catchy song. He kids like the song. They do
- 1:24:32Speaker 6: like this song.
- 1:24:32Speaker 9: Listen, everybody, everybody tie it to their opinion because you
- 1:24:35Speaker 9: don't like it. That's just the truth of the matter.
- 1:24:38Speaker 9: But I don't neither do I. But I know that
- 1:24:40Speaker 9: it ain't for me.
- 1:24:41Speaker 6: But as a DJ, I will play it in the
- 1:24:42Speaker 6: club and I will play it because it's what the
- 1:24:44Speaker 6: people like.
- 1:24:46Speaker 9: Or how do you announce it when you're on the
- 1:24:51Speaker 9: microphone at the party, New Ice Pice far God, yeah,
- 1:24:57Speaker 9: candas one's right, we fall into society, y'all. There's a
- 1:24:59Speaker 9: great move we called idiocracy, right, And if you watch Idiocracy,
- 1:25:04Speaker 9: there's a scene in the movie where, like the I mean, yeah,
- 1:25:06Speaker 9: there's a scene in the movie where the biggest movie
- 1:25:09Speaker 9: of the moment is a movie called ass right, And
- 1:25:12Speaker 9: it's literally just a man's ass on the screen, a
- 1:25:15Speaker 9: pale white ass, and the ass is just foughting every
- 1:25:17Speaker 9: now and then, and everybody's laughing and dying.
- 1:25:20Speaker 6: They ass off.
- 1:25:20Speaker 9: That's what they said. They said, when I said last
- 1:25:22Speaker 9: week when we were playing fought every hour on the hour.
- 1:25:25Speaker 9: I was like, it feels like we're in a spoof.
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: But that's what they were saying farthest funny to people
- 1:25:29Speaker 6: like it.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: It ain't for me. I was born in nineteen hundred
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: and seventy eight. Okay, that's not for me.
- 1:25:34Speaker 6: Big Sean did a record called ass ass As.
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: Shut up. It's not the same. There's between the ass
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: what comes out that ass.
- 1:25:42Speaker 9: Okay, maybe she should have named it something else, something cuter,
- 1:25:45Speaker 9: like poop, like Poot's a cuter, you know what I mean.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: Fought This sounds hard, but she says, you're.
- 1:25:50Speaker 6: Not the ish. You're not even a poop.
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: But it could still have the same lyrics. Maybe there's
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: a different title.
- 1:25:55Speaker 6: You not the issue, not even a breaking win, the issue,
- 1:25:58Speaker 6: not even breaking win, backfire. You're not the issue. You're
- 1:26:01Speaker 6: not even Maybe gas, that's what it should have been
- 1:26:04Speaker 6: called Gas should have been.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: No, I ain't say change the layer. I'm just saying,
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: if you just changed the title.
- 1:26:09Speaker 6: You can't.
- 1:26:10Speaker 9: You know, gas, you gotta go all the way, gotta
- 1:26:12Speaker 9: be a different package. You're gonna give me lyrics like that,
- 1:26:15Speaker 9: give me a different packaging, different that's all. But I'm
- 1:26:17Speaker 9: not here to critique her. She's a young girl and
- 1:26:19Speaker 9: she's making the best possible art that she can.
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: It's not for me. If you like fart, that is on.

- 1:27:42Speaker 25: I'm your host b Dot. This season, my goal is
- 1:27:46Speaker 25: to connect the dots and show how some of the
- 1:27:48Speaker 25: same atrocities were faced in the.
- 1:27:50Speaker 8: Enslavement periods we experience today.
- 1:27:55Speaker 25: Like that white lady that poured a bottle of soda
- 1:27:57Speaker 25: on the head of eleven year old Jason Lee Yuri
- 1:28:00Speaker 25: in Greensboro.
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: North Carolina last year.
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: Did you hear about that?
- 1:28:03Speaker 25: Sixty two year old Kim Jennings She approached eleven year
- 1:28:07Speaker 25: old Jason Lee Yuri and his eight year old sister
- 1:28:10Speaker 25: Jayla and poured soda on the top of his head
- 1:28:12Speaker 25: for swimming in the apartment complex pool. After pouring soda
- 1:28:16Speaker 25: on his head, she punched him in the face with
- 1:28:18Speaker 25: the can and then proceeded to douse him with the
- 1:28:20Speaker 25: remaining contents in the camp. Of course, once the video
- 1:28:24Speaker 25: went viral, she released an apology. She was arrested on
- 1:28:27Speaker 25: two council simple assault, and the parents they filed a
- 1:28:30Speaker 25: federal discrimination lawsuit. They being represented by Ben Krump, Jason Keith,
- 1:28:34Speaker 25: and Harry Daniels. So you know we're gonna get some results.
- 1:28:37Speaker 25: But historically black folks being mistreated by white folks at
- 1:28:41Speaker 25: swimming pools.
- 1:28:41Speaker 8: It's been heavily.
- 1:28:42Speaker 25: Documented white folks never wanted us at the swimming pools.
- 1:28:46Speaker 25: Like first, late nineteenth and early twentieth century, pools were
- 1:28:49Speaker 25: built in white neighborhoods only, and they were segregated by gender.
- 1:28:53Speaker 8: Men and women couldn't be in the same pool. By
- 1:28:55Speaker 8: the nineteen twenties and.
- 1:28:56Speaker 25: Thirties, it was a pool building spree all over the
- 1:28:59Speaker 25: United States, literally thousands and thousands of pools, some of
- 1:29:03Speaker 25: them was bigger than football fields, but they were extremely segregated,
- 1:29:06Speaker 25: to the point where black folks would get violently beaten
- 1:29:09Speaker 25: down just for trying to access the pools.
- 1:29:12Speaker 8: And it was primarily for two reasons.
- 1:29:14Speaker 25: One racist assumptions that black people were dirtier than white people,
- 1:29:18Speaker 25: and two gender integration. See, most whites didn't want black
- 1:29:22Speaker 25: men in particular to have access to white women as
- 1:29:25Speaker 25: such an intimate public space. Once desegregation hit in the sixties,
- 1:29:29Speaker 25: we were introduce to white flight. Now, white flight is
- 1:29:32Speaker 25: when white folks stopped going to the public pools and
- 1:29:34Speaker 25: build private.
- 1:29:35Speaker 8: Pools, club pools, or just pools that they crib. And
- 1:29:38Speaker 8: white flight is a real thing.
- 1:29:40Speaker 25: It's been used to describe the phenomenon of when a
- 1:29:42Speaker 25: neighborhood would become racially integrated. See when a black family
- 1:29:46Speaker 25: would move into a neighborhood that had been all white,
- 1:29:49Speaker 25: large numbers of white families would move right on out.
- 1:29:51Speaker 6: Look the day.
- 1:29:52Speaker 25: Pick the story, whether it was the nineteen fifty seven
- 1:29:55Speaker 25: swimming pools show down in Monroe, North Carolina with the
- 1:29:58Speaker 25: black folks versus the Klan. That story is eloquently documented
- 1:30:02Speaker 25: in the book Negroes with Guns, Or you can pick
- 1:30:04Speaker 25: nineteen sixty four when James Brock dumb acid in the
- 1:30:07Speaker 25: pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in Saint Augustine, Florida,
- 1:30:10Speaker 25: just to try to keep black folks from swimming in
- 1:30:12Speaker 25: his pools. Or just last year in twenty twenty three,
- 1:30:15Speaker 25: when Kim Jennings poured soda on and assaulted an eleven
- 1:30:19Speaker 25: year old black boy, jace Lee Yuri, in front of
- 1:30:22Speaker 25: his eight year old sister, Jayla, in Greensboro, North Carolina.
- 1:30:25Speaker 8: She says he was trespassing.
- 1:30:27Speaker 25: We'll discuss how trespassing relates to them enslave periods in
- 1:30:30Speaker 25: episode three oh eight.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: But the moral of the story is this.
- 1:30:34Speaker 25: Fifty eight percent of black kids can't swim, and there's
- 1:30:37Speaker 25: been a historical hatred for black folks and swimming pools
- 1:30:41Speaker 25: since the very first public swimming pool was built in Boston, Massachusetts,
- 1:30:45Speaker 25: in eighteen sixty eight.
- 1:30:47Speaker 8: And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
